Shit my aunt Faye said: "Bad little boys are sent to the pickle factory where they are turned into

[ohiosmith]

good little girls." is one of her most memorable quotes.

Another is: "The things that live under your bed will come out at night if you pick your nose and wipe it on the sheets."

She and my uncle Bob were only married a short time and I haven't seen Faye since I was five or six. The shit she said was both scary and funny and I was never quite sure how true it was.

1. The nose picking thing is VERY true.

Trust me on this.

[ohiosmith]

2. Thank you for the upcoming sleepless nights.

:rofl:

5. Dude, do you HAVE to wipe 'em on the sheets?

If you use a Kleenex, the monsters'll leave you alone!

[ohiosmith]

6. Figure using the sheets is more green than tissues. The sheets will eventually be washed anyway.

7. You WASH your sheets?

:wow:

What a novel concept. I may try that sometime.

[ohiosmith]

9. Your neighbors will be eternally grateful.

3. I checked Snopes and didn't find anything about the Pickle Factory.

Must be true.

[EFerrari]

4. Omg. I knew there was something evil about pickles.

:scared:

[Common Sense Party]

8. Only the sweet pickles are evil.

15. Watch out for the gherkins...n/t

10. Once when my aunt put me down on her bed for a nap she said...

"If you wet the bet I'm gonna skin ya alive!"

She's lucky I didn't wet the bed right then and there.

[ohiosmith]

11. Hahahaha!

:rofl:

[tk2kewl]

12. She is a piece of work

When her kids would ask "what's for dinner?" She would say "Poison on a roll!"

She also told one of my cousins that the Kings Park Psychiatric Center (see creepy pic below) was a home for bad boys, and even once drove him there and pulled him out of the car pretending to drop him off.

[ohiosmith]

13. Dude, that is priceless.

:rofl:

14. The Pickel Factory

Still gives me nightmares.
Remembering the days when I didn't care about my skin, hair and didn't get to wear frilly knickers.

[ohiosmith]

16. What the hell?

[kayakjohnny]

17. Yes, and I ask as well.....

What the Hell?

[ohiosmith]

18. :

:shrug:

[Old Troop]

19. OK, I'm anxious. Tell me more about the monsters under the bed.

[ohiosmith]

20. According to aunt Faye, they smell the boogers on the sheets and come out to get the kid who put

them there. After hearing that I always put them in my pajama pocket. I was four for God's sake. :rofl:
