a horse of course
Mother’s Day. 1984. Of course she remembers. It was the year Billy and I brought home a dead horse.
Read It: You can’t make this stuff up.
We were going to take it to school for ‘show and tell’. Lucky we showed it to momma first.

It’s amazing the way kids think! And I bet your mother never forgot that day
wow, and my mom thought the flower/weeds I brought her (that she she was allergic to) were bad…
Oh my gosh, what an adventure! That’s a great story!
There you go again, making us want to hear the rest of the story….
lol! I bet you guys thought you’d be famous!
Ahh show and tell – I often wonder what teachers are thinking when they open up that door! Great story!
Not at all where I expected that story to go.
Those, I find, are always the best.
Dawn you’re right. We totally thought we’d be famous. Maybe even get on Bonzo the Clown’s show. Ahhhh…youth.
Must be the size that matters – or else I’m naturally deficient. Let my kid take a squirrel skull to school for show n’ tell.
hahahaha! that’s hilarious!
Ah, I miss “show and tell.” Horse bones would have been an awesome (albeit a little disturbing) edition to the s & t. I once brought in a birds nest with eggs I found on the way to school. Yeah, I wasn’t so eco-friendly in the fourth grade.
Oh WOW. That skull must’ve been as big as you guys were. I respect your mom for not running screaming into the next county!
That is insane. I’m impressed you could *carry* a horse skull at 8 years old. They’re all big and whatnot. You must have been DETERMINED to show off that dinosaur!
Yo, ay! At least you didn’t put it in bed wit her, huh? Ya know what I’m sayin? Fughedaboudit…
too crazy! you really can’t make that s*it up.
Supine & Lydia…the skull did seem huge to me. And this is exactly why we thought it was a dinosaur. I carried it home in a pillow case thrown over my back. We carried everything in pillow cases back then. The wonder tote.
That was an excellent story. Your poor Mom though. I mean, as a parent, you just can’t even dream up the kind of things your kids will get into.
YIKES! i will have to read the attached, because i can’t imagine how two children could bring home a horse. intrigued!
Wow that’s about 20% creepy but 80% very intriguing!!
LOL! I love that your mom was a regular June Cleaver in that she believed bleach was next to holiness! Great story…
Strange but rivetting
I know an old lady who swollowed a horse……
Geez,and I thought eating a worm is the worst thing a child could do when left to his/her own devices!
I can’t relate to this at all…I grew up in a cul de sac. Sounds kinda fun, a real childhood.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Great story btw!
haha, that is too funny;)
I remember seeing some bones in the woods one time when I was a kid. The difference is, I didn’t load them up and take them home
