Way Back Wednesday - What What Whatcha Gonna Do?
Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come For You?
I decided this week that I was going to start participating in more blog games. Today, it is Way Back Wednesday, brought to us by The Kept Woman and our assignment was to show old (hence the name "Way Back") pictures of us breaking the law.
Well, one of the reasons I have never jumped on the WBW bandwagon before is that I don't have a whole heck of a lot of pictures with me. Most of my family's pictures are in boxes and boxes and boxes throughout my parents' and grandparents' homes.
But I was able to find a couple of pictures that would qualify for today's assignment. Hopefully I wont completely fail this one.
I know you are thinking how is a little girl and her grandfather riding in a bumper car at Six Flags breaking the law? Well, this is how I see it. I know you can't tell it now, but I was one of the smallest kids you've ever seen. I guarantee you I probably wasn't tall enough to reach that "You Must Be This Tall To Ride This Ride" arrow. I think I stood on my grandpa's feet.
This was April 1990. I was a sophomore and on a high school choir trip to Quebec City, Canada. My friends Heather and Candy spent most of the day we had free walking around the town and sightseeing. We came upon this park with these statues that were blocked off with a chain and concrete blocks. We climbed over the blocks and took pictures of our trespassing on these statues. And why am I smiling so big? I had borrowed those jeans I have on from another girl, who was the head cheerleader and skinnier-than-a-rail,.. and I just thought it was cool that I could zip them.
This is the picture of my car after my car accident in December 2001. According to witnesses, I stopped at the red light at the corner of Hwy 6 and I59S in Sugar Land, Texas. While I was stopped, I must have passed out and my foot fell off the break as I eased into the intersection and t-boned a lady turning in front of me. I was working two jobs and had a 56-mile one way commute to work, I was exhausted.
There was only about $600 damage to the exterior of my car, (God, I love Saturns). BUT...
Because I had just gone thru the drive thru at Taco Bell, and those idiots had forgotten to give me a straw, I had taken the lid off of my 40oz Dr. Pepper. The drink splashed all over everything on my dash and everything electrical had to be replaced, including the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel, the radio, CD player, AC controls, etc. I don't heart Taco Bell anymore.
I know you are all thinking.. God, can this girl get any more boring? This is what she calls breaking the law? Well... I have saved the best picture for last.
This picture was taken in (I think) Spring 1985 on my Great Aunt's farmland in Central Texas. That cute little red head is my cousin Jace. And what did we do that was illegal?
PICKING BLUEBONNETS! Although I am saddened to find out that for generations all Texans have been told that it was illegal to pick bluebonnets, just to find out that it was an urban legend. There goes my wrap sheet!

Well, in light of your badness, I don't think we can hang out anymore.

Ooo, you are bad!
Marylanders are told that about our state flower, too. I wonder if it's true?
I played!
