You can't reach me
I was 5 or 6 when this unfortunate incident happened. We had a station wagon that had three rows of seats. The far back seat would fold down flat for hauling groceries, luggage, or the such. I loved riding in the backseat the best unless I could get to sit up front with mom (when dad wasn't along. ) Well this particular time I was way in the back and was doing something ornery and mom kept telling me to stop it. I was probably koochie-kooing my sisters because I thought that was funny. I mean what is the harm of a little tickle under the chin. Well, for some reason the sisters didn't think it was as funny as I did so were hollering about it. Mom finally got tired of it and said "Jackie, if you don't stop it I'm gonna give you a swat." And right back at her, out of my mouth came "you can't reach me mommy." Well I should have thought that one out a little better, because mom curbed the car and got out, opened up the back hatch and I got some swats that time.

ReplyDeleteI'll bet you were waiting for this one, huh? Love ya sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThis is the story I remember hearing most as a kid. I can still hear grandma telling it. Her final line was always "I reached her". :-)
ReplyDeleteDang strong willed kids!! lol Actually, what makes me laugh is that when Hannah was about four, she was being naughty in the back seat. She had never heard this story, but when I told her to stop or she'd get in trouble and she said "Mom, you can't reach me!". I pulled the car over and made sure she knew that mom can always reach her! How funny... like grandma, like granddaughter! I, of course, came home and immediately called Mom.
ReplyDeleteI, of course think this is hilarious!!
