Can I blame my Grandfather for my weirdness? When I was three, he replaced my teddy bear with a rubber chicken

what a mistake.  But you shouldn't blame him too much. His generation wasn't aware of the problems this could cause.  You might try our family's solution for this problem. we just made the chicken part of the family. It goes wherever we go.  It has it's own ski outfits and skating outfits and is always sitting in the front pew of weddings dressed in an outfit that perfectly matches those of the bridesmaids.   you probably think I'm kidding, but I'm not.  This has made.a very happy rubber chicken that almost never causes trouble for the family. Well, it didn't like the last bridesmaid's dress and that marriage ended in divorce but there was probably no connection - still, you never know.

Oh yeah.  I got a mail-order catalog in the mail the other week that really triggered some old memories and yearnings in me.  The Uncle Wiggly game...clackers (remember those glass balls on the string you would bang together?)...Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys.  Then my friend and I started remembering other things together...like rock candy...remember around Christmas when they would come out with the colored candy shapes on lollipop sticks?  Then we got to talking how it's a miracle we survived...we had no carseats, no bicycle helmet or kneepads.  No soft wood chips under our swing sets or jungle gyms...we had concrete!  Which reminds me...I wonder when is the last time kids played Spud or Mother May I?  Oh yeah...I miss those good ol' days!

There's a photograph of me and my sister sitting on Ronal McDonald's lap when we are about three and six respectively. Kind of like a Santa Claus thing. My sister looks vaguely excited and pleased but I have an unmistakable look of horror in my eyes. I think that it's left a lifelong scar and I've never been able to stand clowns - especially Ronald McDonald. I'm 31 now but he still gives me the creeps whenever I see him.\n\nGrimace, on the other hand, now there's one cool cat.

Well I guess I fall into the grumpy category myself. My daughters always make me happy by just being around. But when they cook my favorite food it really cheers up the old grouch in me. I like the idea someone suggested about hot cocoa. That always makes us grumpy old guys happy. Any gift from you will be special to him. The less expensive the better cause he will worry you spent to much on him.  Merry Christmas. Your Grandpa is lucky to have a thoughtful Granddaughter.

I found out by accident. I was 10 and i had gone into my parent's wardrobe to look for a dress of mine i could put on to wear at my dad's work Xmas party, in there i found a box of toys and on top was a yellow bag, i even called my brother in to see, he was just 8. I didn't know this was the Santa stuff until Christmas day. When i walked into the sitting room that morning, there was the yellow bag i had found, it was then i realised there was no Santa..I was gutted.

My grandfather had that problem.  My grandma fixed it by putting treats for the raccoons...like leftover chicken in one spot and the garbage in the other.  As long as you remember to put out the treats you should not have a problem.

My husband asks the same question, and my answer to him is:\n3 year olds would not find it as funny if Wyle went to KFC to get his bird now would they?!

I don't think it is any more wrong than telling them about the Easter Bunny or Santa Clause or the Tooth Fairy.  Childhood is all about make believe and stories.  Sometimes we adults forget that.  My fondest memory is being at my Grandmother's house during a thunderstorm where I was frightened of the thunder.  My Grandma told me the very same thing....That God was bowling and he just got a strike!!!!  It is a memory that I love to remember, and I thank you for the question because that memory came to mind.

I have a lot but the one that stands out is when I was about 4 or 5.  I had chicken pox and I can remember my mom kneeling at me and dabbing calamine lotion on my pox.  It means a lot to me because she passed away 5 years ago and a couple of years before that, we had problems.  As simple as this memory is, it showed how much she loved me.
