A spittoon (for my young readers) is a large metal bowl or urn shaped receptacle that sits on the floor in public places. The purpose of the spittoon is for tobacco chewing men to spit their tobacco juice into.
When Kathy (older sis) was about three she went to the bank (or post office--not sure on the place) with mom. Next thing you know, mom looked over and saw Kathy sitting on the spittoon going wee wee in it. She, of course thought it was a potty!
Now one on me. Mom took Kathy and me to the bank (or post office) one day and I was doing one of my favorite pasttimes---pestering my sister. At this time I would have beein about 3 and kathy would have been 6. Mom raised her foot and gave me a little nudge with it so I would stop it. I put my little hands on my hips, looked up at her and said "how'd you like it if I kicked you in the butt?!) Of course everyone in there heard me and were smiling, but of course it embarassed my mom a little bit. Funny huh?

Once again laura, who does this story remind you of? I think that little apple didn't fall very far from the tree at all! Ha and lol!
ReplyDeleteWhitney was hoping for the spittoon story. One of her favorite things about being at the ranch with you, Kathy and Michelle was hearing the three of you tell stories like that on each other.
ReplyDeleteYes, Whitney and I made a lot of great memories with the times we spent at the ranch. I really miss them but things change and life goes on. But the memories are ours to keep---that is the great part, huh Whitney?
ReplyDeleteyep. that sounds like something someone would say, all right! I don't remember either of those stories. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat! So glad I shared them with all of you!

Clue: Hey Whitney, when I say huh Whitney it is asking for a reply! Love ya!!! Wwhitney, it is asking for a reply!!!l
ReplyDeleteBoy did I mess that one up. I'm sure you got the point though.
ReplyDeletei was at school sorry.... yes those memories are ours forever and i loved being at the ranch with you, aunt michelle, and aunt kathy, riding on four wheelers and eating aunt michelles potatoe salad (i was devasted when i found out the truth!)
ReplyDeleteOh how fun it was!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, Maybe I'll get around to writing about the ranch and Aunt Michelle's potato salad. That will be a very long time in the future yet because I'm trying to do these somewhat in order, and right now I am still under 4yrs old
