Sisters Ashley and Angela share their childhood mistakes
This is sisters Ashley and Angela.
And this is sister Rooy
My sister Ashley here had the bright idea of what to potentially talk about, which was our mistakes.
Yeah. I was talking with some friends that came to visit and, for some reason, one of my stupid things that I did in my childhood came to the forefront of this conversation with them. And I was like, this could be some good conversation to talk about and reminisce in a. Ah, terrible, funny, stupid way.
Did you actually talk with your friends about this already or the one that you were thinking of? Or it just made you plant the seed?
It just planted the seed. Because I had talked about this specific story from my childhood with them.
Ah, well then.
So they know that one.
Oh, okay.
And the punishment. It's probably one of my worst ones with the punishment.
Yes, I know what one you're talking about.
That. So, yeah, that's what prompted this whole thing. And I was like, hm, I'm gonna put a note. We're m. Gonna talk about it.
That's a good one. That one's a hefty one because our whole family knows about it. Our immediate family, like brothers and mom and dad. Definitely.
Well, obviously they punished me. yeah, I think that one was like my most punishable. And the one that. And I think I know what your most punishable one was.
My punishable one?
Yeah.
Oh, okay. I think I know what one you're talking about, but we'll see. Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. We'll do the one that we were thinking we've done together
Okay.
Well, do we go into, the.
I don't know if we just like, build up into it and start with the smaller ones or just go straight.
Into and rip the band aid off? Cause it's ##nn. Be interesting either way.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know how to rate. I didn't rate what came to mind.
Yeah, I didn't rate anything either. But I'm sure that Angela and I have some that overlap because we did stupid things together as well when we were little.
It's true. It's true. Well, okay, I'll start with the one that we were thinking we've done together or it happened together and it involves your knee.
Okay.
Because we weren't punished by it. It was just more like, why.
Did we do it? Like, why did we do it?
Right, right.
Ashley and I were playing miniature golf in Branson, Missouri
Okay, so to set the audience up for. Set this.
Set the scene. Scene.
Set the scene. I can't recall where we Were you probably remember because Ashley's memory is a.
Little better than mine, y'all. We were in Branson, Missouri.
Oh, Branson, Missouri. Yes.
So yes, my memory is still there for those things.
And we were at a place like a timeshare.
Yeah, it was a timeshare. It was Branson, Missouri's a little hilly.
And we were going to do an activity of put. Putt golf.
Yeah. We went and did some old fashioned miniature golf.
Oh yeah.
And. It's just Ashley and me.
We'walkinge. I don't know where the rest of the family was. Know they weren't home though when we got back either. They might have done like some museum or something. Maybe some like lizard museum for Jeremy.
Maybe.
I don't know.
We probably.
We got a lot of lizards on that trip.
Yeah.
Which is an interesting and funny story by itself. But anywho.
Either way, just stick with the story.
Yes.
We just finished miniature golf. And we could keep the golf balls. Yeah, and we could keep.
It was not like typical return that. Like on the last hole your disappear your ball disappears into a thing. You had to go and return everything to like the front desk or whatever.
Yeah. So we're just moseying along and Ashley's bouncing her golf ball on a very uneven asphalt surface.
Oh yeah. It was all gravel. And if you know anything about bouncing a golf ball. A golf ball isn't perfectly round. No.
There's a few grooves in those.
Just a few. And this ball, it took a tumble all the way down the hill.
With a ton of rocks and mulchers.
It was like leaves. Yeah. I don't know. It was like the fall that we went and very earthy terrain. My dumb little brain. I don't know why I didn't just go again. This is why. It's like, why didn't we just go and tell them we lost one of the balls?
True.
But instead Ashley's little brain is like, I need to return this ball. So let me run down the hill.
That's a pretty steep hill. It's not.
It's not your little steep hill.
It's not a small little ditch hill.
Nope.
Nope
A little. Ashley just like tumbles down the the too. Retrieves the ball and I don't even know if I cried. I don't know what I did. I don't know how I got back up the hill. The adrenaline was pumping because somehow I got back up to Angela. I don't think you came. I don't think you came down to me.
No. Because I think you got. And we're like, I'm okay. I'm dying here.
So I somehow get back to Angela, and my knee is just completely busted. Like, just torn up, bloody, blood everywhere, skin flapping So sorry to be descriptive.
Angela says she and her sister hid a serious knee injury from parents
And there's, like, gravel in it, and it's not good. And it was pretty deep. It was a pretty deep cut. Oh, yeah.
So deep that afterwards we were thinking, you probably, definitely would have required stitches.
Yeah. Had. Did we told our mom and dad sooner. I would have probably, definitely needed stitches.
Yeah, it was pretty deep.
so Angela had this bright idea to not tell mom and dad.
I don't know why I didn't want to again.
It was just one of those things, like, why did we decide to hide that? Yeah.
This was the mis.
You were. I think it was because you were the older sister, so you were supposed to be in charge of me. And you got hurt. I got hurt. And so you were like, it's fine. We'll put a band Tate on it.
And did we clean it? Do you remember?
Don't remember cleaning it.
we're not smart there.
Nope. And I can't even remember. But I ended up taking a bath, and so I did soak it. And somehow I had to have told Mom.
I remember eventually mom found out because he told her. Yeah. And I don't even remember what happened about that. I don't remember if they were even upset that we didn't tell them or being scolded of why we wouldn't tell them sooner. I don't remember. But we just know in our brains that was really dumb.
Yeah. I absolutely don't recall dad reacting to anything. So I don't even know if we told dad or if mom was just like, ashley got hurt, and we cleaned the wound and put a band aid on it and, you know, whatever. Yeah.
I only rememberember Min being involved.
I don't know how old I was, but at that point, I had probably already been hurt a couple of times in my life.
Oh, yes.
Which is really funny because Ash's had stitches multiple times. Yeah. I was actually a really clumsy child, and I am not clumsy now. Justin is. And I always make fun of him for being clumsy, but he's never broken a bone, and I've. Or had stitches or anything, and I'm over here, like, beating up my knee. Getting stitches in my forehead for other reasons. Stitches in my knee or not my knee. my chin.
Maybe you were clumsy because you're just still growing at that point.
Yeah, maybe.
You're pretty tall, skinny girl.
Yeah. all is well with my knee. I still have a scar, but, you know, it's just, like, one of those things. Why one did we just not let the ball go? You should have just been like, let it go. We'll tell them that we lost the ball.
I know.
Or why did we hide it from mom and dad? But, you know, not the only thing we've hid from mom and dad.
I don't know where you're going with that.
Really? You don't?
From mom and dad.
Oh, yeah. I'm sure there's some of these stories that ma and d for the m M. Oh, yeah.
They'renn. They're gonna find out some things today. Whenever they listen to this one.
Maybe we'll tell them to skip this.
Episode, in which case they won't.
Yeah, they won't.
So u. yeah, I brought that one up.
well, to go into that, I guess.
Do you remember driving home in your first second car
I know we told mom eventually, so we'll see if she still recalls after listening to this, but do you remember driving home in our little town in our first second car? Because the first car was the taurus. Right. The second car was the sunfire.
I do not remember driving the taurus.
Okay, well, we had a sunfire.
Yeah.
Pontiac sunfire. Bright orange, beauifful fun sports car that I totalled.
Not.
Not part of this. Yeah, not part of this. M. But we. We were driving it in the middle of the night. Our town has, like, no lights anywhere.
Oh, snap.
And we.
I know where you're going with this one.
We totally hit a raccoon.
Huge raccoon.
Next to our tiny little gas. Gas station. Station in town. We pulled over to the gas station to check if there was, like, damage to the car and also decided not to tell mom and dad that we hit something. I don't know if there was damage.
Well, I think it would have been if we saw something leaking from the car, because we checked for a few days after to be like, okay, nothing.
It was the front started ratling.
Nothing started leaking.
There was no, noticeable denunt if there was anything. No, it was a huge raccoon. Poor guy.
I mean. Yeah, I hope he. I hope he died fast.
I was gonna say he did not survive.
Goodness, that. I think that might have been the first animal I've ever hit. In my life.
Besides the deer who hit you?
Yeah, that deer did hit me. Okay.
But anyhow, yeah, I think we ended up telling mom that story. but I don't know if she would remember it now because she was probably just like may not because it.
Didn'T turn into anything really.
Yeah.
Are there any other driving stories that you got? No involve both of us
Are there any other driving stories that you got? No involve both of us are one of us.
I think I know what you might be thinking of.
I. I have multiple driving storiesus guys. When you're, a teenager and you get your license, you do stupid things too.
Are you. Did you have something on your list about when we were on our way to a movie theater?
I do. H. Do you have that?
I did not write that one down. No, that one's the new one that you joggedd my memory of.
Wasn't really. Well, it was more like thank goodness.
Yeah.
God in the universe is looking out that nothing terrible happened because Ashley and I, we are driving. I'm the one driving. I'm the driver.
I can't remember, honestly.
But we come back, if you were.
The driver, then you have done the Taurus. Because it was in the Ford Taurus.
The Taurus.
Mmmm.
Dang. I don't remember that.
So let me also set the scene for you guys that this Ford Taurus, I don't know what year it was, but anytime you braked, pushed on the brakes, the whole car shook as if it was going to fall apart. And just like.
Yeah, I do vaguely remember this.
Yes.
This one I shot out of my mind.
Probably for good reason.
I know.
and again, our little towns and the towns surrounding us didn't have many street lights. So it was just all corn dark cornfields and pitch black, black, pitch dark. No, that's not. But yeah, one of us was driving.
Yeah.
We can't remember who at the moment. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe that's pregnancy bringain.
Maybe. But yeah, we're basically driving our little town to the next town over for where the one main movie theater is that we can get to within 20 minutes. And we see something in the distant road.
Yeah.
Kind of going back where we are thinking, what is that?
But we are also jamming out to some music because of course we love to sing.
Probably some pink, maybe some avl.
Yeah, you know it.
then all of a sudden we realize it's this guy that I can't remember if he's a construction worker or y.
It was a policeman.
It was a policeman.
Yes.
I Knew he was in some kind of uniform.
I don't know if looking back, I don't know if he was wearing a very reflective vest.
No, he was all dark. He literally just had a flashlight.
It wasn't even a flashlight, guys. It was a orange, like, light up bon flare. It wasn't a flare. It was like a baton, like bigger version of a light stick that you break. What are those things called?
Oh, yeah. I don't know what it's called.
Darn Pregnancy brain.
One of those.
It was just a bar of orange light.
Yeah. So it wasn't even bright. Yeah, it was. Yeah. It wasn't a flashlight then. For some reason I thought it was a flashlight. But this guy is in the middle of the road, pitch black, and like.
Wa waving thing for us to go.
Slow for some reason. But was it before a construction zone? Like, there. There was a reason. Obviously he wanted us to slow down.
Yeah. I can't remember why he was directing traffic, but luckily whoever was driving between the two of us saw him just in time. And really, we like, really had to slam on the brakes. And so of course this car is like, shing us all trying to stop before we literally hit a man.
Yeah.
And not even a man. A police officer. And, terrible. I'm pretty sure we saw fear in his eyes as we came to a halt.
And he probably saw fear in ourives since we also made eye contact with, him. Because he didn't go off to, like, the side of the road. He went to the other side of the road.
He had no police car with lights anywhere nearby.
One of your driving stories almost killed a man. Yeah. Such a weird encounter
It was it so weird.
Very sketchy.
And he didn't come and talk to us, like, slow down or anything.
No. Or try to stop us.
He just, stopped us for the time being. Had fear in all of our eyes. And then eventually, like, slowed us past with his baton light. Such a weird encounter, but, like, seriously almost killed a man. Yeah, that one.
Yikes. I forgot about that one. Probably for a good reason. Because, it could have been terrible.
Yeah. Have been. It could have been bad. And we would have missed our movie.
Yeah. So. Than the important things. Not that somebody just continued to live. I can't think of any other driving stories because you made it sound like there were more driving stories.
I just had one more driving story where I was following a friend and it was like a group of four of us, Two of them were in the car ahead of us, and it was me and my Childhood friend following them. And we took a left turn that they shouldn't have took and we definitely shouldn't have took. And we got honked at. And yeah, me and my childhood friend probably almost died that night. It was right after our grandmother died, And I literally got out of the car at the destination where we followed our friends to, which I think was a McDonald's, if I'm being honest. It was some food place. And we hugged each other and I was like, grandma was watching over me because literally probably, almost got just completely demolished on the driver's side.
Okay, wait, I don't know if I'm following. So you're saying that you just shouldn't have taken, a left turn, for the timing, because the, the ongoing traffic that you were crossing the road for?
Yeah, it was b. Were. It was two lanes coming toward us. Two lanes going, okay, the opposite way. So it was four lanes, but two that we had to cross over and we had to do a left hand turn.
I think I had heard this story before.
Yeah. And I got honked at. Like this person laid on the horn and luckily was paying attention and hit their brakes. because, yeah, we would have definitely been smashed into. So that was. I was like, I should just gotten an address and followed the GPS and took a different route. I don't know.
That is gps. so I, guess out of all those stories we, the real lesson is drive slower at night and when you're following somebody, have a GPS and go at your own pace. If we're going it for our lessons learned here.
Yeah, lessons learned. it's okay if you lose the.
Person and thank goodness for the technology that we have today so that you can continue and catch up.
For real.
Yeah. Because, well, back then you might. Was there GPS? Were you using MapQuest at that point? Who knows?
Yeah. You know, it would have been in high school. And I know that we used MapQuest growing up.
I remember having to write down direction. Think we had paper.
I don't think we. We had a yes.
Yeah. So you might not have been able to. Which is why you probably felt the rush to need to continue with them.
Yeah, they knew the area better. I did not. And I followed. And they were like, I can't believe. I think they got out of the car. And they were like, can't believe you got. You took that turn. We should not have taken that turn. And I was just like, yeah, we definitely shouldn't have. And literally got out of the car, and we hugged each other like, yikes. Thank God for another day.
Yeah. Stressed me out over here.
Yeah. That one. Y hadah. The driving while a teenager. Ugh. I know.
And that's what I feel like, too. There's less people on the roads than even now, so kind of think.
And there's more. More distractions out there now, too.
With the phones and the texting. Everybody literally has a phone in their hand when driving
Oh, yeah. With the phones and the texting. Everybody literally has a phone in their hand when I see them driving.
Yeah.
It's a rarity When they're actually, like, 10 and two jamming out to music like me.
Yeah. I love to jam out to a good song at a red light if I have no child, in the car, and I can really blast it and look like an idiot. And I'm like, are they looking at me? I hope you are en Joy. Well, I think those. Yeah, those were all of my car stories, but I. I made some stupid. I'm sure there's more, too, that, like, childhood friends could probably point out to me, like.
Oh, I'm sure. But let's stick with what we remember for sure. Oh, let's see. Want me to go next?
Yeah. Let. I told a lovely story about me almost dying. Go for it.
Trying to think.
One of the first times I was really caught in a mistake involving neighbors
All right, well, I don't know if you were involved with this one. And it was one of the first times I was really caught in a mistake that involved our neighbors. Dogs growing up, because we were watching their dogs.
I, do not recall this story at the moment.
Okay. Whether it was me or both of us, but I feel like both of us were always going in to check on these dogs across the street.
Yeah.
The golden retriever.
And the husky.
And the husky.
Yeah.
So it was one of those weeks that they're gone, and we decide with our childhood friends that lived down the street. You remember who I'm talking about? Swam pool at their pool.
Okay.
Okay. So we invited them to come with us to basically go and check in on these dogs.
I do not. You don'remember.
This.
This story.
this is where I'm like, was this really just me? And I invited, like, my childhood friend, the one girlfriend that I, you know, hung out with in the neighborhood.
Yeah.
And. But the thing is, we went and I was getting the dog food, and we were letting the dogs out, But I was caught. But I don't remember who I was caught by, if it was mom or dad or like, even. It could have been a brother.
You were Just caught bringing your friend there.
Right. which I remember getting in trouble to be like because I was so embarrassed. Like I should never have invited a friend for a responsibility that only our neighbors asked us to do. So it wasn't like a huge, huge mistake. It wasn't like I invited them inside. It was all like the dogs were. We were all outside playing and everything. But mom or dad found out somehow and found us in the garage and I was so embarrassed and like it stuck with me obviously.
So now on your drop ins you don't bring any friends?
It stuck with me When I am the one being asked to do something. Yeah. I make it very clear. I mean I don't even know. I couldn't tell you how old I was. Definitely young.
Yeah.
This would have been a fourth, fifth grade type of situation I feel like.
Because they moved out of the neighborhood by the time you went to high school. I don't remember right before high school.
Yeah. But anyway that one stuck with me. And yeah, I kind of bring it up because now it's.
One shoe got caught by a current in a river when we were young
It's interesting that one of my side gigs that I love so much is actually taking care of everybody's pets.
That is funny.
But yeah, I don't invite people or if I have to bring even my daughter along, for example, I make it really clear that or I make sure first off that a dog is kid friendly and I vet the dog like five times before even bringing my child. But yeah, that one, that one I wrote down which was like kind of minor but still hit me because I was embarrassed.
H. Yeah. I don't recall being there for that one. So that one.
Okay.
Has got to be just you.
Yeah. I wasn't sure you if you were there.
I think I had one more of the two of us. I don't know. I had two more but. But one that I don't know if mom and dad going back to. I don't know if they know this now but I don't remember how we got into this situation. If it was something that friends of mine made me do and then I brought you along or if we did this with a certain group of people together. But we had a small river or like stream that went behind our neighborhood.
And it was definitely private property and had no trespassing signs. And we trespassed.
Weassed hard. But everyone trespassed.
I know a lot of the kids.
Did at least so maybe they couldn't read.
So you know what I'm talking about was this Something that we did with a friend group together or was it something that one of us was just.
Maybe.
I feel like someone showed me and then I was like.
And then you showed me how to get there.
The younger S. Delinquen. For real, though? and So there was this little stream that we would just, like, go swimmin in. you could touch throughout the entire.
Yeah, it was super shallow. Like, didn't even hit your shins type.
I don't even know what the appeal was. No, it was just nice on a hot day. I don't know. But all I remember is again, little Ashley had these super fashionable black and hot pink foam clogss. Chunky clogs. It was the 90s.
Y'all gives me sketcher vibes. But it was totally just like a hot pink.
They totally had a design in them. Like flowers. Yeah.
Little flowers were etched.
I know exactly what they look like.
I know. They were beautiful. My version, when you got those, I got like the clear light blue plastic type.
That's so funny that you're still into blue. Light blue.
I look good in blue. It brings out my eyes.
It's true. anyway, this clog is embedded in our brains because one of the days we went to the stream. I think it was the last day too, that we ever went. Because I like, wor. I don't even know why I wore these there or why I would wear them in the water. But, Ashley's shoe got caught by a current and one of them just went floating on down.
It floated so fast. Because it was foam.
It floated so fast and there was no catching it.
No.
Again, I come home with no, like, with one shoe. Like, what are we thinking? And again, where are mom and dad to be? Like, where's your one shoe? What did we tell them?
I don't. Well, I think you. You didn't tell them because you didn't want them to know that you lost.
A shoe in a river. We weren't supposed to be, right. No.
But I mean, yeah, mom and dad and the neighborhood that we were in, it was so safe. We got to just roam around and walk around.
Yeah.
All the time. So it wasn't like they were worried about us. different times, for sure.
Jinx.
Yeah. No, but, Yeah, that one.
But it's just like, what? At some point, I feel like it was a brand new shoe. We had to have told it.
Yeah. I think that's why it stuck in our lines. Because you love those shoes. They were awesome.
Someone out there might have found that. Or it's still in that river
I loved themumber. foam clogs.
Yeah. Someone out there might have found that.
Or it's still in that river.
Clogged.
I see what you did there. Justin will appreciate that one, you know. Yeah, that's great. Jake will not. I'll be like, oh, my gosh.
Slight rolov the eyes.
Take little turns here. I have a stealing story. You want me to go next? Yeah. Great. So great. Let's see here
Let's see here.
M. All right, well, I'll go into stealing.
Great.
I have a stealing story. I know you have a stealing story.
I do.
I m don't know if you know this stealing story for me.
Unless you remember the particular object that was in my bedroom. We'll see.
Go on memory.
So. So great.
There was one thing that I ever really stole in my life
so, yeah, there was one thing that I ever really stole in my life, and it made such an impact on me.
Mine as well. When we get to that story, yours.
Is way more of a doozy. But, like, mine was from a retail store and I don't know why I did it.
O you a thief over there?
I know I don't. Jake. I told t Jake this story, and he was like, what, You've lied to me? Pretending to be all these things to me.
It is.
And that now I'm a thief.
Yeah, I will. Yeah. I need to know the rest of the story because knowing how you are with shopping, I'm like, I know. What?
So, the thing that I really wish I do remember is the age that this happened. And I want to say it was like a fourth grade, fifth grade type of thing where I'm at some type of big retailer place like Marshalls or kes s that we would have gone to.
Okay.
And you know one of those makeup bags.
Yeah.
Where it's actually a makeup bag with multiple items in it. I don't know how else to scrape. Like, maybe there was eyeshadow and ok. Like it was a multi makeup item kit. O But somehow I found myself in an area where there having these on the shelves. And I see that there is the ability to like, just sneak out an item from one of those kits. So I don't take a whole kit.
I was gonna say, how did you walk out of there with just a kit?
Okay, exactly. It's not a whole kit. I was, The zipper and the tag of where the tag was allowed you to have the zipper open just a little bit. And the only thing that could come out was this lipstick. And it was a yellow lipstick.
Yellow in color. What? Yeah.
I'm explaining this story to Jake at some point and he's like, what made you go for the yellow?
Like there are so many things that.
I want to sayh Ye o so many things. I know what you're talking about now, but no, I think my brain, it'just that was the only object that could come out and it was the only thing I could slip into my pocket and it had no barcode on it and that's how I got away with it.
Who were you with that you were shopping with?
I couldn't tell you. I don't remember.
Friends.
It might have been like, it might have been you, me and mom. Ye like and we were split up somehow and somehow I ended up in the makeup area. I couldn't even tell you what possessed me to think I'm going to take something because honestly, thoughts can never, I've never like, like now I don't love, don't love, don't like cheating, like even on little games and stuff, you know. So I'm just like what possessed me? And I'm just thinking, I don't know. But that I took, I got away with it. And I had that thing for years. But the interesting thing about this yellow lipstick, guys, you put it on your lips. It was the hottest pink color that went ono your lips. It was the coolest lipstick. But I felt s so guilty because.
I not remember this lipstick. But it had to be something like when you, you know, when it touches your skin tone, it warmth changes the color.
But it was.
I'm gonna google this.
After it looked yellow, it had on the little tube, a spiral of silver metallic sticker around it. So it was spiraling silver and yellow and it came out hot pink. And I felt really guilty.
Every time you wore it.
Every time I wore it. And eventually I threw it away. But I had it for years.
I do not recall this lipstick.
Yeah, I don't remember when I threw it away. It might have been in high school because I don't remember it in college. But yeah, that was the one thing I stole Techn funn away from.
Angela does like a good lip color these days, you know? I do. When you want to go out, you're like, I need colors on my lips to make, make them pop.
She was all upset with me about one time where I had no lipstick or lip gloss.
Actually has nothing. I was so shocked. And the, any item she did have, it was such a neutral.
Yes. She was very, so disappointed.
Stop that. We're really on it today.
Angela says she hates the color yellow these days
Our sisters are showing. Yes. And I Actually found one in my purse the other day that I texted you about. And, like, I found some color, but you're not gonna like it because, yeah, it was another nude, neutral color, but.
You know, I was proud of you for at least discovering something there.
But this is also before knowing that it was yellow and turned hot pink, once it hit your lips. what's funny is Angela, One, hates shopping and two, hates the color yellow. And I think she's now coming to that realization that she hates the color yellow these days.
No, but this was a bright yellow. This was not, like your Mac and cheese color. Yellow, Mustard yellow. That. I'm not really a fan of these.
Her face says it all. Fks.
This lipstick was like a bright kind of neon yellow, and it went on hot pink. And it. I'm hot pink.
Totally gonna Google this later.
Yeah. Yeah.
Ashley's most punishable childhood crime was stealing decorative fish
Well, yeah, with that story, I'll go into my most, intensive, punishable, punishable. I'll go into my most punishable childhood one, because mine was for stealing, because I got caught, whereas you did not. this was actually the story that prompted this whole topic. because I was telling it to my friends, and I'm like, this is so ridiculous. Why did I. Why did I do this? So, it must have been junior high, middle school or fifth grade, maybe. Yeah, probably older.
Middle school maybe.
While you were still in school.
Yeah. So I would.
So you had. Yeah, you had to be in middle school. Yeah, so I was either fourth or fifth grade.
Something, you know, that's where it'honestly seems like you're really pushing between both of us.
Yeah.
Because that is, like, where I go for most of these, where I'm like, okay, fourth or fifth grade.
Yeah. so I was at, a neighborhood friend's house. She literally lived right across the street.
Kitty Corner.
And we were just, like, hanging out, having a little playdate, whatever you call it, in fourth and fifth grade. And I go to use her bathroom, and in her bathroom is a fish bowl with glass decorative fish that float by a string.
A string. Like a fishing line string. You can't really see the string.
Yeah, it's a decorative bowl of fish. And for some reason I'm compelled to take these fish and put them in my pocket, which I think I had, like, short fleece. No, I think I had, like, fleece joggers on that had zipper pockets.
For real.
I feel like they were bright red too. I don't know why this detail is it's not needed, but it came to me. And I just remember I took these fish and I go back into her room and I'm playing with her whatever, doing whatever with her. And they like, make sounds because they're.
Glass and they're jostling in your pockets.
Yeah, she didn't even. I don't think she even asked me what they were like, why I'm jingling. I don't know. But for some reason, I brought it upon myself to say, oh, that's my change. And that's might change, I think, from like lunch from school or something. I don't even know one. I never bought. Never bought hot lunch at school, let alone had just a random change on me all the time. Oh, my gosh. Such a terrible lie. It gets worse. folks.
Oh, my gosh. I haven't even heard this detail. Really? No.
Anyway, I go home and I don't know, I'm like, I don't even know why I go home. Playdate'over whatever. Go home. And my two oldest bro, my brothers, both of them, I think are either that. Just my oldest brother.
he's in the driveway playing basketball with his neighborhood friendse.
Of course.
yeah, we just like, we always had a game of basketball. I feel like always going one going on in our driveway. And he comes and finds me because I see that the neighbor's walking over. I think it's the neighbor's mom. She's walking over.
The friend's mom?
Yep. So I'm like, oh, no. And I run downstairs for some reason to hide, I don't even know. I see her talking to my older brother Jason. And Jason, if you're listening to this, I'm very curious if you remember this story.
I didn't know Jason was the one who was approached first by.
I'm actually pretty shocked that, like, I don't know if mom and dad weren't home. And so she just ended up telling him or I don't know why. I don't know the situation, you know, I need to call Jason. Jason, call me. and so, I, like, scurry down basement, whatever. And again, little Ashley decides what would make this better but to cut the lines of the fish, the fishing lines from the floating devices. So I, for some reason, cut the lines. Jason comes and finds me and he's just like, did you steal some fish from the neighbor's bathroom? And I was like, no, Lied. And then he was like, I don't even know, what he said to me. And maybe I Just had fear in my eyes. And I was like, yeah, here they are. And he was like, you broke themmed too? Like, you cut them. Made no sense. I'm like, the heck was I thinking as an adult? I'm like, what the heck are you thinking? And go and return these fish that are broken. Have to tell them. Fast forward to my parents definitely finding out.
And did Jason make you tell them, or did Jason tell them?
Jason: That was probably my worst one from childhood that I got punished for
You know, also a good question for Jason, because Jason has a good memory.
I, know we'll have to note that.
Yeah, we'll have to get some details from him. And, I ended up having to replenish their fish. I had to reu. I had to buy some fish for them. that was part of the punishment. Tell them that I was sorry in person. Had to go to confession. Oh, yeah, that night.
Oh, that night.
Dad took me that night to confession.
Oo.
And I think that instilled some fear in me. And to even put it over the top, they, grounded me from going to the Daddy Daughter Dance that year.
Oh, my gosh. I forgot that was the reason.
And I think it was the last. I think it was. There was something about this Daddy Daughter dance that we both. Because you asked if I could go to. Like, she went to confession. She said she's sorry. She. Yeah, I really bought everything. So I wonder if it was like.
Maybe it was our last one.
Yeah, maybe it was our last one together. But they stuck to their guns. Mom and dad and said, no, you are not going to that Daddy Daughter dance. But let me tell you guys, Angela here won the Furby at the Daddy Daughter Dance raffle back when the furby.
Was so popular and, like, one of the most wanted toy items.
And we were both still so happy, even though I didn't get to go.
To this dance because I came home with a furby.
Couldn't believe it. I just remember you telling me, like, in the little hallway that we had, and we both just beaming with happiness.
and there were so many girls that approached me afterward to be like, what can I give you so that I can have the Furby?
Everyone wanted the Furby, and we got the furby. Wow. And Angela was like, we deserve this. Even after she stole these stupid fish. Gosh, absolutely. Absolutely ridiculous. And that was probably my worst one from childhood that, I got punished for. And I never stole anything ever again.
Yeah.
If I did, it was accidental.
Yeah. For our thievery stories. I can't say I stole anything ever again either. But I Was also never caught, but the guilt still caught me, man.
Yeah.
But. Yeah, So I guess moving into the only one that comes up to me or that, comes to mind for my punishable one. And I honestly don't even remember why I was so mad at mom, but for what I did.
Because you like to hold grudges.
Maybe that's another episode. But, yeah, I can hold a grudge.
But it's just funny how it strick thing made me.
Yeah.
You've talked to your mom about things that made her disappointed in you
Something made me so mad at our mom, and I went and cut the hair off of her favorite childhood doll, but I don't remember why I did it.
So vengeful. And I don't even remember what the.
Punishment was other than the pure disappointment in mom's face.
Yeah. Ah, it's never fun disappointing Mom.
No. Because it takes so much to disappoint her. Like, for real, so much rolls off of her.
I remember I didn't want to go to her mom's and dad's house. Like, Grandma and grandpa's house. one of the weekends. I just wanted to hang back with my childhood friend or whatever, and she was so disappointed in me that I didn't go. And m. Yeah, I still feel that one.
Oh, no.
Mom would say, like, that's in the past. Forget it. But I know.
I know we've talked now mom would just be like, yeah, whatever.
Yeah, we've talked to Mom a couple times about, like, things that we've done in our childhood that made her disappointed in us or anything. I know. That was one for me. And then another one was, Besides the obvious ones of us stealing things and cutting off hair of dolls, but, that one was one. And I know another one was I, like, really didn't want to be a girl Scout for some reason, and she was the girl Scout leader. Yeah, that was a lot of contention for us.
Yeah. Well, so I have one more. How many? What do you got?
Because I know for childhood ones, I have another one that I don't think mom and dad know, but was. It could have been a bad one. The other ones are little.
Are you talking about the one that I. Oh, no.
You were not involved.
I was not involved. Okay. Because I'm like, there's just one more doozy probably that I have.
Which story are you going to tell? The truth or dare one
All right, well, what's your dier?
And you know it. Cause you were the victim.
H. Is it the.
Cause I felt bad about it.
Yeah, but, like, you didn't get in trouble for it.
I didn't get in trouble for it, but I feel like, that was a mistake. Should never have made you do it.
Yeah, it haunts me. Go ahead and tell the audience what you made me do. I don't know.
People might look at me differently, but this might have also been a fourth, fifth grade.
Yeah. I would have been second or third grade then.
Yeah.
Gosh, I hope it was younger than that. I don't know. Why would I agree to that?
I don't know. I don't know. So there's a group of four of us. It is my sister, myself, Angela. I will admit this. And then our childhood friends.
I do not think it was with them.
What?
I think it was with pool friend.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Oh, okay.
Brother and sister.
Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about high school childhood. Okay. Oh, no, sorry, sister. Sorry.
no. These are like neighborhood friends who are actually just like siblings.
Which story are you going to tell?
The truth or dare one.
I've just thought of another one that you made me do.
Yeah, I don't know if that was. Terrible mistake, though, that one. I don't feel guilty about what you're talking about, the truth and dare. But, this one I felt guilty about, so therefore I felt like it was a mistake. Okay. Ok. My conscience, it gets to me. but
I basically dared my sister to poop in a toilet and pick it up
Basically, Ashley. I can't recall if she wanted to just, like, hang out with us. And maybe I was annoyed.
Probably I just wanted. Most of the time, I just wanted to hang out with my sister.
That is so cool. Even though I made you do stupid, boring things.
Seriously, I don't know why I wanted to hang out with you.
No, like, I made you play school.
We had fun. We also played church.
Church. Yeah. Anyway, so this, is one of those days that Ashley wants to tag along, and I'm already hanging out with one of my best childhood friends, and her brother also is tagging along. So we're all just hanging out.
That is so funny. I do not remember him being there.
I thought he was, but maybe not. I don't know. but we decide that we're going to play truth or dare, which, honestly, I hate. I don't know why we did it. but I. I had a vicious idea.
Seriously, what made you think. This is what I'm going. This is what I'm gonna dare you. Did it come from you or did it come from childhood friend?
No, I think I came up with this, which also makes it even.
You're mean meaner.
Yeah. And guys, I am not proud of this. Let me just really preface.
I am not either for going through.
It, but I basically ask my sister if she has to go to the bathroom.
And I chose dare, people.
Oh, yeah, I forgot Ashley picks dare for one of these things. And, um, yeah, she. She says dare. And I asked if she has to go to the bathroom, and she does, actually. I don't know how quickly you had to. I don't know if it was something we waited for. I don't even know. But I basically dared my sister to poop in a toilet and pick it up.
I think you also d. I think I had to squeeze it a little.
I forgot that detail.
So mean.
So mean. I was gross. I don't know why I h. Guys. Like I said, not proud of it. I'm sorry to my sister. Sorry, sister rooy. I've said it a million times.
Yeah'we're past it.
We're totally past it. But we laugh about.
Makes for a funny story.
Makes for funny story. Now.
But yeah, I totally did that. Did I. How did you even know if I did it? Did I do it in front of you?
I don't.
Or did you just take my word for it? Because, guys, I did it and I don't know why if no one was watching.
I feel like we had to have. I don't think we'watched you go to the bathroom.
It's just like afterward, I'm like, think we there.
I think we might have all looked to make sure there was poop in the toilet.
Oh my gosh.
And yeah, so I think we did see you just pick it up at least.
Seriously just spit like all over the microphone. I just can't even. Oh, man. Why? What compelled you? What compelled me?
No, you could have just been like.
I followed through with that dare. I can't say you the same for any other truth or dare I've ever done.
Let me tell you guys, Ashley, she'll. She'll apparently stick to. Stick to her guns when she does t dare. that's what that proves. But yeah, lesson learned from me. I think it really solidified that I hate truth or dare because I probably had that knowledge of what I had made my sister do. And I felt also super guilty about it. And I, still hate truth or dare. It's not my favorite.
The last doozy one that I had that could have gotten in big trouble
Yeah, I don't. I couldn't tell you the last time I played truth or dare.
Yeah, some people love it and I'm just like, no, I'd rather not.
Yeah, there's better. So many more fun games, better things to do with our time and picking up our. Oh my gosh.
So that might be one of the most embarrassing things. so you're welcome, guys. Now you know just a little more.
About that, about us. That again, I don't know if the parentals know that.
Yeah, that one's gonna be new for like the whole whole family.
Yeah, I don't think the brothers probably don't know that either.
Yep. There. Yeah. I hope they have done worse things than that. Because, I mean, you can wash your hands of that. Literally.
Yeah, I mean. And figured I definitely washed my hands after that.
The last doozy one that I had that I could have gotten in big trouble for, was one of the houses was being built in the neighborhood and it was ah, like it was like a mansion comparatively to everybody. It's the biggest house in our neighborhood. And it was being built and I was with a group of friends that one of them acted as a tour guide and was like, we can go into, like, I know a way to get into this house. And it had a roof on it, and I think it even had a security system. so I honestly don't remember how we got into this house, But I followed along with this friend and her little group of friends. I don't remember everyone who was there. I just remember the person who was playing tour guide, and really committing to the bit. So she was, like, showing off the house as if it was her own. And as we're walking up the staircase, the mom. Owner. The owner of the house that is being built walks in. And I can't exactly remember what she said to make us all turn around, but she had one of her children with her, and she looked at all of our faces and said, something along the lines of, like, what are you doing here? I think she deactivated her security system. So, again, that's how I knew that there was one there that was active that we somehow bypassed. I can't remember. And I just remember her saying, I know all of your mothers, and you are lucky that I am not calling every single one of them right now. And that haunted me for life. And I don't think I hung out with that friend or that group of people ever again. And I was. I don't think she ever told any of our parents.
Wow.
Yeah, she. Us. She let us off the hook. But she is just like, you are lucky that I do not talk to every single one of your parents right now.
I mean, at that point, though, you were just walking upstairs. You weren't doing.
Yeah, we weren't vandalizing.
Weren vandalized.
But, I mean, we were definitely trespassing, and it was you and your trespassing. I know. And lying. Guys, once we get. We'll have to do another episode where we talk about adulthood things.
I have some things that I lied about when I was younger
I'm. I'm so terrible in college about. I have some things that I lied about.
So. But now in adulthood, it's like, when does your adulthood start where you stopped lying with some of these?
Well, college, I think, are my main. Two terrible ones were college, and Justin is annoyed that I like to tell little white lies here and there.
yeah, you like to. They're like. But they're not to fib and.
Yeah, they're just to, like, get aroused out of him. Like, we'll be going to a bar, and I'll tell him that I left my wallet at home and I'm kidding. But, like, I'll take it so far that he's, like, turning around.
Why would you do.
I think I've gotten better.
Do you need an intervention?
And he does a little bit to me now. And a lot of the time now he's just like. He calls me out on it and is like, no, you didn't. So stop whatever this is. And I'm like, fine, you're no fun anymore. O. but those are the only little white lies. Don't. I don't think I've lied, like, really bad in awhile. I don't know if I should be.
Like, I'm proud of you.
Definitely not. No, you won't be proud of the two.
I won't be proud of the lies.
I'm sharing from the adult.
I'm just saying the fact that you feel like you've been getting better just.
For the little fibs between me and my husband.
Okay, okay.
The little pranks, Right? But, yeah, the trespassing and the lying when I was younger. Not great.
No.
But I mean, their house was livable.
She was furnished.
Um, home. She was kind of home with groceries, I think.
Oh, my gosh.
Like, how did we not hear the garage? The stairs were right next to the garage. We should have been bouncing.
What were you guys thinking?
And, yeah, I just remember her face. All of our faces were probably like, uhh.
Did you say how old you are?
Old enough to know that it was wrong. I think it was past the stealing of the fish. That one. I was younger.
Stealing of the fish.
and I think the only other one from my childhood that would have been, like, a stupid little mistake that I made that I didn't tell mom about was we went to not mom.
But you told dad.
Now, dad just wouldn't have cared because it wasn't. It wasn't the deal with dad. It was deal with mom.
Oh.
And we were on a family trip going to one of the Carolinas.
Okay.
And my mom, growing up, she always had a small pocket knife on her. And so we went and stopped at some shop that had Swiss army pocket knives. And I begged mom to get me one. And she's like, I'm not getting you one. You're gonna cut yourself. And, like, absolutely not. And I think I've promised her, I'm not gonna cut myself. I'm old enough. I'll show you that I'm responsible. Whatever. She buys me this knife. It's a little green pocket knife, guys. I still have it to this day, but It's a little green pocket knife. And within 10 minutes of getting back into the car, cut my toe. Don't know what I was doing with my toenail. Have my toe. But I cut my toe. And I never told my mom.
But.
I still have that pocket knife, so. Love you, mom, and thanks. It's green. My toe is fine.
Which toe?
It was a big toe. I think you were sitting right next to me when I did it. Just a nice little slice. Sliver of, you know, the toe.
Gosh, sister.
Ashley shares some fun little things about her childhood on today's podcast
Oh. So these are some fun little things that you're learning about Ashley tonight, today, whenever you're listeninge.
this is like a, therapy confession sess at this point.
But that's all I got from my childhood. Like I said, I have two from my adult ones that we will just have to maybe do like a mini episode or open up next week's with with those. And, those two are. Are doozies.
If we do do a part two, I can easily bring that in
Maybe that's just a good time to wrap.
if you guys have any lovely little embarrassing stories that you want to share with us, because we just put it out. We just put all of it out there from our childhood.
Put everything out there.
Let us know what your older siblings made you do. And you know, I made you do some things too, like going to the river. I feel like I made you do that.
I know.
That was a little sister influence.
We tag team on the dumb stuff sometimes.
Yeah. But we have survived. And now we are adults with children of our own.
And now we get to see what mistakes they're gonna make.
Oh, it's gonna be so great. I was just telling Justin today, like, can't wait for him and his little brother to just be getting into some trouble and both of us being mad in the moment but laughing about it later.
I know, because right now they're just so much learning and testing us.
O, yeah.
but it'll be interesting to know. And that they. We know in their conscience that they know they've done something.
Yeah. when they start to drive, I don't know how. I don't know how parents do it with the driving because they're so many things. And even by their time, there will be even more things. Yep. Even my teenage boys that I have from, my foster parenting life, I worry about them, too. So you guys better be careful. Love you.
Well, until next time, guys. Thanks for tuning in
Well, until next time, guys.
Yes, until next time.
Thanks for tuning in.
Yeah, thanks for tuning in.
Bye.
