Funny Memories of Everyone by Shelley

Dad
I remember helping dad barbeque something at the old house. He was singing "You can tell by the way I use my walk i'm a woman's man, no time to talk" while doing his moonwalk and dancing.

Mom
Whenever mom got really stressed working on the computer her chin would lower, her glasses were pushed lower onto her nose and her hair stood straight up because she kept running her fingers through it.

Melissa
Melissa and Rachel used to fight alot when they shared their rooms. Sometimes, at night, I would hear melissa knocking on the wall into our bedroom (where Laurie and I were sleeping) as a call for help. I would run in, a flattered 7-8 year old, to the rescue.
Melissa always had a hard time keeping her bedroom clean and would offer me the change I could find on her floor to help her clean it.

Craig
Craig loved spec so much and would always ask about her and play with her before most anything when he came to visit. He would always joke and say things like "I wonder what spec is doing..."

Rachel
Rachel used to make cookies all the time and was very possesive of the cookie dough. Once someone stole some and she found a fingerprint where the dough had been scooped out (it was probably me that's why I remember this) She was so angry that she made everyone come and put their finger there to determine the "match". I don't remember the conclusion of the story- only that she was upset enough about it to make us ALL put our fingers in the cookie dough.

Albert
I remember at Rachel and Albert's wedding shower at Grandma Hite's house, sitting next to Albert and he pretended to put his arm around me. Being only about 14 years old I thought this was the most hilarious thing that had ever happened to me.

David
Once David was very sick and was spinning in the office chair. He was yelling at someone but was cut off when he started to feel very nauseous. He threw up while spinning in the chair and so it got all over everything in the office.

Rach
Although I have done alot with Rach I just can't think of a "funny" memory. I remember realizing one day that I was going to really enjoy having her for a sister in law because she could get giddy. It is a prerequisite to be a hite sister to be able to get giddy-especially late at night.
OH! The day before Rach and David got married, Rach stopped by our hotel room and was so tired and needed a nap. Being 8 monthes pregnant- I also needed a nap and so we shared a bed in one of the rooms. I was very surprised to hear Rach snore! For some reason, hearing her snore made me like her even more. David, does Rach still snore?

Shelley
I know I shouldn't post about myself. But I thought i'd remind everyone of all the things you tease me of just so you can have another laugh:
"But I thought you were going to cananda!" (Dad went to alberta or something)
Electricity being grounded 5 floors up in Paris
Almost being swept away by the wave in Ireland
And being attacked by Tzitzi flies. Although I don't think this is funny- it was very serious to me.

Devin
Devin can drink an amazing amount of water without taking a break to breath. I am still amazed to watch him drink what seems like a quart of water without stopping. Where does it all go? The most amazing part about this process is that he refills his huge cup 3-4 times. That's alot of water. Devin also sweats alot. If it is above 65 degrees and Devin does anything physical (unloading dishwasher, hanging a picture) he begins to sweat all down his face. Maybe that's where the water goes... His mission companions would use this strange sweating feat to get into doors while tracting. Devin would be dehydrated and hot and his companion would say at a door: Do you want to see a cool trick? Give Elder Higgins a drink of water and watch him very closely. As soon as Devin put the glass down- he would start sweating. People loved it. I never knew sweating could be such an effective missionary tool.

Laurie
I was holding a basket of laundry while fighting with Laurie (we must have been about 7 or 8) and I was so angry that I threw a pair of underwear at her. She was upset because she thought they were dirty although I insisted they were clean. To this day this very important detail is debated. I guess we'll never know.
