I've flown single engined aircraft all the way up and the only time I've been really worried was flying back to the UK from Italy and landing on the tail end of what was described at the time as a hurricane.

Has anyone in your family ever embarrassed you? My mother was notorious for doing that. Although she was fun and quite entertaining, you never knew what she was going to do or say next. It's a wonder that I survived my childhood
If so what have they done? Here are just a couple of "mind" examples.
1. One day I was driving to school in my mother's Fiat X19. She was in front of me driving to work. We got to the main stop light before I crossed the road to get into my school. It was a very busy light with lots of cars and school busses. Anyway, while we were stopeed...she jumped out of her car and ran back to me. She started yelling and screaming(yeah causing a scene). She was yelling "you are the bitc*/slu* who is sleeping with my husband". OMG She was never wrapped very tightly. Anyway, I was mortified. It was her way of having fun.
2. Another one. While I would be driving my mother around she would open her window, hang her head out and start yelling "help, I'm being kidnapped"
Thank God I'm not scarred for life, lol.
What is a family tradition you’ll pass on to your kids? I don't have kids...and you wonder why
Have a great day!!!
