I was a very loving, trusting (some would say very gullible), kind and happy little girl. I loved everybody and knew no strangers. I would befriend everybody. I was always trying to be helpful if anyone was sad or hurt. Sounds perfect , huh?
I was an extremely ornery child. I loved pulling tricks and pranks, and in particular loved to pester my sisters. I never did anything mean to anyone, never was a mean bone in my body. But I did particularly like to pester, tickle or koochie-koo Kathy because I could always get a good reaction out of her. Plus, when I started my koochie-kooing, Michelle was still a baby. She did get in on some of it when she got older, but she didn't give me as good of a reaction as Kathy did.
Mom always said she could tell when I was up to something (ornery) because my eyes would just sparkle!
I guess if I want my great grandchildren to read this someday, I should explain that Kathy is my older sister by three years, and Michelle is my younger sister by four years.

I think being ornery must be a family gene. I have a few that like to tease and pester too. :)

ReplyDeleteWhitney is not ornery....but traits like that do run in families. Whitney has has a very sarcastic sense of humor, as do Tracy and I. My lack of hair is a fairly regular topic for her, but that is because she knows I don't care and make jokes about it as well.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it catches us off guard, but it is always done in a polite way. As with all things a kid learns, she does not always do it well. She occasionally says something that raise our eyebrows, but hard to come down on her too hard since we know she is such a sweet girl and would not say something mean intentionally.
Sarcasm is your dad 100%. I can get a little bit sarcastic at times, but it's just
