Yes, sneaky, funny.

But try living with him while he was trying to learn how to cook.

Lith was scared witless of coming home for a few months!!! O.o

And DJ, Lith never did learn what was in the water bottle, but it didn't smell like gasoline or lighter fluid, because that Lith would have noticed.

To this day, lith has never figured out what she nearly drank, and that's probably for the better... ^.^;

Lith isn't going to mention how the toaster ended up in the microwave, and the hot dog fork impaled the ice cube maker... :oops:

LOL. Once I knew a girl who was watching a movie with some of her friends in one of the dorm lounges. Her roommate wanted to make tea, so she went over to the kitchen, in the dark, to boil some water. Silly girl put an electric kettle on the stove instead of the regular kind, without noticing, and nearly burnt down the lounge! O.O But thank heavens she could tell the difference between flammable fluids and water!^.^

well, my closet is full of stuffed animals, but if I had to choose one, it would be Braveheart Lion (Care Bears).

When I was 4 I had a toy blender. I have no idea why I was so attached to it... but I remember being heartbroken as heck when my dad stepped on it. I cried my eyes out. (it was kind of like this one... only it was green... I think... it was 20 years ago...)

Every now and then, just to rib him, I ask him why he destroyed my favorite toy...

But it started a tradition. Now every year as part of my Christmas gift, my parents get me some very odd, small toy. I think it's their idea of repirations. :)

i went through so many of those plastic bow and arrow sets, with the plunger arrows...

i think my parents bought me one every birthday or christmas, but they always broke within a couple of weeks :(

who would have thought a plastic bow would be so flimsy :(
Oh look, it's Christmas again!

The first toy I felt sentimental towards, I think I was like 5ish, and my grandpa carved a wooden snake out of a vine and gave it to me, I loved the thing to death, until one day my little brother got pissed for some reason took it and snapped it. I went nuts, I threw hot wheels (TM) at him, one hit him in his head and he started crying so then I just kept the peices in a box... I still have them.

I was given a stuffed golden labrador puppy teddy-dog-thing (what? It was the 70s) on the day I was born which I still have.
I never, ever pick it up, play with it or talk to it nowadays

There was a reason I made bows out of sticks which I trimmed to size after I broke the plastic bows... besides, we had these great heavy reeds that made great arrows you could launch the entire length of the school yard if you brought along some string to school for recess....

Call me mundane, but I just have my teddybear. He's as old as I am, and the speakerbox broke years ago, so he bleats like a sheep instead of roaring.

It was the first toy I ever got, and I still keep him in a drawer.
