1. What is your worst memory of your siblings? - Hmmm.  The worst memory...  I guess it would probably be the time that my brother fell into my great uncle Billy's swimming pool.  He was three years old and I was seven or eight at the time, and we were at a family reunion.  Everyone was having fun, eating, talking, laughing, and all of the sudden one of my grown-up cousins screamed "ONE OF THE KIDS IS IN THE POOL!"  Three or four guys jumped into the pool to retrieve my baby brother, who had sunk like a stone to the bottom.  He had run away from our mother to check out the pool, and lost his balance trying to touch the water and fell in.  They brought him out and he was fine, no resuscitation needed.  Luckily he had only just fallen in a few moments before he was noticed.  But my little 7- or 8-year old self was a wreck.  After I saw that it was him in the pool I broke down crying.   Even after I saw he was okay, I was still very shaken.  I don't think I let him out of my sight for a solid week.  That was really the first time I had to come to grips with the frailty and mortality of my family.  He could have drowned.  He could not be here today, 25 years old and 6'7" of hilarity.  I can't imagine what my life would have been like without my little brother.  I'd never want to.

2. What was YOUR naughtiest childhood memory? (Must be something YOU did, no pawning it off on someone else!) -Growing up, my neighbor and I did not get along.  She in my grade, and mean and snotty to me.  I just wanted someone to play with, but she was not friendly and did not like me for some reason.  I have no idea why, because we had known each other since we were a year old, but when we got old enough to pick our friends she decided that she didn't want to be friends with me.  No bother, my best friend lived on the street behind me, and her backyard was connected to Snotty Neighbor's yard, so all I had to do was walk through their backyard to get to my friend's house.  Well, my best friend was a bit of a troublemaker, and one day she decided that we should put mud on Snotty Neighbor's bicycle.  I was all "whatevs" and helped her put dirt and water in a wagon.  We mixed it up and slapped it on SN's bike seat.  Nobody knew we did it.  Well, we then got the idea to do it again after  SN was particularly snotty to us one day.  This time we got caught.  I got a whipping and grounded for two weeks, and SN's dad put a lock on the gate between his yard and my best friend's yard.  The fence and the gate, however, belonged to my best friend's dad, so he had to remove it.  But he did tell me that I couldn't walk through their backyard anymore to get to my friend's house.  So our dads constructed a platform and attached two pool ladders at the intersection of the fences so that we could get to each other's yards without going through SN's yard.  Take that, Snotty Neighbor and Snotty Neighbor's dad.

After Snotty Neighbor moved away, we were in the same class at school and became best friends for a couple of years.  Kids are weird.

3. Where do you like to go to relax? -I like to go to the beach or the lake.  I love to go on trips, even if it's just for the weekend.  I can relax anywhere, if someone is watching my child.  :)

4. What was the last thing you won? -A personalized storybook from flattenme.com, courtesy of Cole over at Cole's First Blog.  I can't wait to see how it turns out!

5. If you could be on a game show, which would you choose? -Ooooh, I love game shows!  I would like to be on Wheel of Fortune.  I'm quite good with word puzzles, so I think I would do pretty well on that show.

What about you?
