I was just talking to a friend online...and we started sharing childhood experiences...getting spanked and scolded, and for what reasons...and I remembered the funniest story...thought I'd share it with all of you here...I expect you folks to do the same...share something funny from your childhood

I was in grade 3...my mom used to help us out with the homework most of the time...one day however, she was extremely bz...and she asked my dad to help us out (me and my sis)...everything was fine, till I started on my english homework...my english was weak...and my dad started losing his patience as I kept making mistakes...for one of the exercises, I had to use the given words in a sentence...and one of the words was "tide"...my dad was pretty angry by that time, and he warned me that I better get this one right...I thought for a min, and then very confidently, replied "We use tide to wash our clothes!"  got a big SMACK  and I didn't understand why, cuz that was perfectly good sentence for a kid who's in grade 3...so I got up and went to my mom, crying, told her what happened, and she started laughing too when she heard the sentence  of course she ended up explaining what was wrong with it, and helped me with the rest of the homework...

ok, now your turn :)
