1.) Have you read the comments on my last post? And if so, are you totally amazed at how many people have fallen out of moving cars? Were car door latches made of slightly cooked spaghetti noodles back then? I can tell you right now that my mom is feeling an enormous sense of relief that she was not the only parent that this happened to.
Amanda mentioned that, thanks to her older brother, she has fallen out of a moving car twice. The theory occasionally comes up that I may have had something to do with Gina falling out of the car, but I would like to say that it is a vicious, vicious lie. I was in the back seat AND I was not very good at opening car doors back in the day. This is evidenced by another Knecht Family Legend of the time when I was about 5 and we all came home late one night and I was asleep in the back of the car and my parents, having a lot of kids to file in, didn't realize that I wasn't in the mix and I was left there. I eventually woke up and thought it was extremely new and exciting that I was alone in the dark car. I tried to open the door to get out but couldn't and so I rolled down the window and climbed out and then found the front door locked so I had to knock to get in. My parents were slightly shocked to find me standing there. I love that story. And I love that it shows that I couldn't possibly have mastered the door handle to shove Gina out.
2.) There is one week left for voting. They caught on to you sneaky ones and my votes plummeted! I am now in 7th place. But since I still really want an ice cream social, I'm going to lower my standards and say we'll have one if I'm in the top 10.
3.) You should feel very fortunate that my nephews do not live around here. Because I would totally turn into one of those bloggers who only writes about all their cute antics. It would be insufferable and you would hate me. But I would not be able to stop myself because they are adorable and hilarious. For example: Stacy taught Ben the words and dance moves to Damaged by Danity Kane.
Addendum to #2: I just discovered that there is a major Twilight fan in the running. Let's hope her followers don't find this.

I think it would be fun to post various family medical cures....Vicks VapoRub figures prominently in ours...and we have corroded sinus passages to prove it...
You are loved...
I am one of those bloggers that spends a lot of time blogging about her kids and their cute antics. This is why I have 2 blogs. One for people who would rather not read about my kids all the time, and one for the grandmas. I have never fallen out of a car, but I slammed my toes in our station wagon doors several times while playing Dukes of Hazard. (It's easy to hop out the windows, but getting back in is tricky when you're short.)
*Somebody* in my family fell out of a car, too. Or at least fell out partway and were hanging by the seat belt. I think it might have been Matt, but now I'm not sure. Wow, is my brain ossified.
