(21,020 posts)some sort of pandemic when we were kids way back when.
I also gave them to my mother.
And she retaliated by putting the disgruntled mom's curse on me...
"I hope someday you have kids as rotten as you are!!!"
Didn't work. Not when they were young, anyway.
Now that they're in their 40s, it looks like the curse is coming to fruition.
She must be sticking pins in a little PipiK voodoo doll while she's waiting for her numbers at weekly Bingo games.
