Nothing went together better than color tv and holiday specials

ugh Sandy you brought up that stuff, I always got to open a present on Christmas eve, remember those big yellow Tonka dump trucks? I dreamed about having them things for 2 years and I wanted one, I finally got it on Christmas eve, as soon as the wheels hit the floor, "come on we have to go to candlelight Service at church" I was like WTF? lol
All I could think of was the big yellow truck as I dripped candle wax on the church floor under the pew, but I was creative enough to make certain wax figures of that long winded ole preacher who loved to hear himself save the world and evrytime he would blow I would poke his wax figure with the half pencil. In fact I am goin to call mom right now and get after her about her teasing me with that truck through that whole long boring service, I still stay away from that church.
