Your stories are so good. I bet those sandwiches really started stinking!Thanks for sharing again. I would try the napkin trick at times.

Hi Nelson! You are a fabulous writer! I love coming to your blog to read about more of your adventures I hid my sandwiches in the back of my dresser drawers . And when forced to actually put the food in my mouth at the table, would stuff it in my cheeks and hold it there – then spit it out later.

Wife ain’t talking. I was a “real” blond hair lad too cute for words. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Haha – This is too funny! Somehow hearing these stories of you being “a handful” when you were young doesn’t surprise me! haha I have a feeling your wife could tell a few stories of more recent years too! Just a hunch:) You are a character Nelson – and I mean that fondly:)

Erica, I’m not as well round as you in liking Tongue sandwiches at any stage of my life. I guess that is why people address you as Dr. and me as “Hey you”. Love having you come by. Thank you.

Nelson,
Your story telling is delightful. I used to love tongue sandwiches, but only now do I not want to eat them. I love your secret hding places.

David don’t let the cat out of the bag. “artistic License” My brother would tell us the stories of our youth with a humorous flair. Our older sister would enjoy his stories so much. She often remarked “Oh his account of the story gets better every year” Artistic License. Thanks David for dropping in and commenting. You and Donna are my favorite real people. “Artistic License”

Wonderful recollections, Nelson (artistic license aside).

Sounds like you had a really rough go of it! But we can all benefit from your horror stories of fence to fence concrete, central heating and tongue sandwiches.

Always enjoy visiting your blog, Nelson.

I’m honored guys to have you grace my Blog. So you were Latch Key’s also. I treasure my youth and credit as you do my development to have to rely on myself for my growth in a very tough world.

Nelson,

Once again, a very cool story. We can vividly picture the “food dump” and must admit it is not a pretty site. When we were young we both were latchkey kids as well. It did give us a lot of independence and helped us with our responsibility roles… it helped to shape who we are today.

Thanks so much for the walk down memory lane and for the cool story…
