Omfg that reminded me...

My ex and I went swimming with 2 of his cousins and their wives. Only 1 cousin had kids back then. Everything was fine - I played with the little ones, threw them up and let them go under water as I caught them, it was all gravy.

A few weeks later, it was 4th of July. I had my daughter with me and the same cousins, same kids. There were 2 older girls already in school and then the little boy and youngest girl - the ones who had no problem floating out alone and being dropped underwater.

That day, though, the 2 little ones freaked out crying and wouldn't let anyone go and float on their own. They would literally scream bloody murder - even though they had floats on to keep them above water.

Their dad later told me that the kids saw a kid drowning in the water farther out in the lake. They were the only ones to see it cuz my daughter was just fine the whole day and so was everyone else.


Also... I just thought of this... My childhood best friend and I used to play the most horrible jokes on her little brother... Omg. She had a full length mirror in her room... So.. we'd turn the lights off and play "bloody Mary" you know - in the mirror where you say "Bloody Mary, I killed your baby" 3x, then put ketchup on our cheeks like she'd gotten us... He would flip his lid and scream something awful. He was also mentally challenged. And then... There was an underneath part to their house where all the insulation and stuff was, but it was pretty big as far as height and stuff and there was a door with a slide lock on the outside. We would lock him in there and run around pounding on the outside and screaming.... Scared the crap out of him... We got in so much trouble lmao.
