This week Lauren at LSS Attitude of Gratitude said “I’m going through a crazy time in my life right now. I’ve gone from trying to herd kittens to running after a few ducks that keep getting out of line. I have surgery next week and I’m uncertain how long I will be out of commission. So, I’m cheating a bit this week and asking questions like I did in a former Throwback Thursday. They are different questions, but the same style.”
So this week’s rerun prompt is: That Was Then And This Is Now
1) When you were a kid, what were your creative outlets.
Painting, dancing, singing, writing.
As an adult, what have you created that you are most proud of?
Three sons?…I guess you mean creatively…My blog.
2) Have you ever saved someone’s life? Did you ever witness someone’s life being saved? Did someone save your life?
I don’t think I have ever saved anyone’s life…I am not aware of having done so. My Dad saved my life once he pulled me out of the River Isis in Oxford. I was very young but I still remember it. I think I helped to save my mother in law’s life by quickly realising she was having a stroke.
3) Did you ever get lost as a child? How did you handle it? Do you get easily lost now?
I don’t really remember but I probably did as I have terrible sense of direction and I am always going in the wrong direction 😃
4) Did you search out presents your parents hid from you?
Yes indeed we all did in our house!
Did you get caught?
We did but we never got into trouble because we never tried to open any.
Do you hide presents from family members as an adult?
Yes I have !
Are they ever found?
Not to my knowledge.
5) Do you have a special song that was sung to you by either of your parents.
My Dad always sung Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Dad would often change the words ! He often sang: Twinkle Twinkle little Bat how I wonder what your at! Up above the world so high like a tea pot in the sky.
Did you sing to your children?
I did but they’d laugh at me now!
(or pets) Care to share the tunes?
I sing to Ruby it’s usually a made up song.
6) What’s something you were afraid of as a child?
Being lost and alone.
What is something you are afraid of as an adult?
Being homeless.
7) What do you wish you would have learned more about in school?
Everything.
8) Is there something outside of school you were so interested in you taught yourself about it as an adult?
Writing.
9) What made you laugh most when you were a child?
Being tickled.
What makes you laugh out loud now?
A good comedian.
10) What’s something from your childhood that helped to shape your outlook on life?
My mum and Dad they taught me so much .

Thanks for joining in Willow. I always make up different words to songs. It wasn’t until my grandkids were older that they figured out my words weren’t the real ones. LOL

You are far braver than me, Willow. These questions would be a little to out there for me

Really …that’s the beauty if you feel threatened you don’t have to answer 💜💜
Dec 04, 2022 @ 13:34:46
It’s not that I feel threatened more like is answering someone’s prompt an appropriate place for some of the explanations for my answers . If that makes sense

Yes indeed it does , 💜💜

Hi Willow, I love this picture of your parents. A lovely post, I enjoyed learning more about you. The version of Twinkle Twinkle little star your dad sang comes out of Alice in Wonderland.
