[QUOTE="Lil, post: 690857, member: 17309"] Nope. I was Mary Poppins; practically perfect in every way. Seriously, I was a fantastic kid. Obedient and loving. My parents often said that neither me nor my brother gave them a minutes problem. The worst thing I ever remember my older brother getting involved in was a girlfriend of his fighting with him on the phone. He got so mad he punched a hole in the wall. My mom walked into him swinging with both hands and slapped him silly. (Later she said she'd realized after the fact that if he'd hit back he'd have knocked her out.) But I'm sure my brother never even considered it. I occasionally (very occasionally) back-talked, but the worst thing I did was some drinking. That's what we did in high school...road drinking. Get some Boone's Farm and drive the back roads. Sure, it was stupid, but people weren't that uptight about drinking and driving in the 80's. It was just kid stuff. I would rather have ripped my tongue out before I screamed at my parents and I never, ever, flatly told them NO. I never even considered NOT going to college. I never considered not working. I never considered being disrespectful or cruel or mean to them. I loved them, and made sure they knew it, to the day they died. If I regret anything, it's that I didn't stay with them more and didn't visit more. But I will never regret the way I treated them. [/QUOTE]
