Petara's Prerogative

When I was a kid, I went inside for a drink and found an ice cold 2 liter Pepsi in the refrigerator.  I dropped the bottle and picked it right back up and opened it.  Pepsi shot out like a rocket toward the ceiling.  I looked at the mess and put the lid back on the Pepsi and took my ass right back outside.  There was no cleaning that up.

I do not iron my clothes unless it is absolutely necessary.  I just shake my clothes out as hard as I can and try to loosen the wrinkles or hope that my body will smooth them out when I put the clothing on.

I cannot sleep without having my fan on.

I have mastered the lean in technique to look out the blinds.  My husband hasn't.  He wears glasses and can't get it right.  I'm sure people can see him more from trying this than if he actually cracked the blinds to look out.

I used to play hide and seek with my brother and wouldn't actually look for him.  I just needed a break from watching him.  Sadly, I've done this with my kids as well.  I just call out to them every now and then to make sure they haven't fallen to sleep in their hiding spaces.

I used to tell my little brother that I was a princess who's real parents would come to get her one day.  If he was good, I wouldn't have him beheaded and would take him with me when I left.

I don't really look like anyone in my family.  People think my in-laws are my parents because they say I look more like them than my parents.  As a kid, I thought I was adopted, especially since I never saw any baby pictures of myself.  Switched at birth?
