When I was younger, I used to play radio station with the neighbor kids. It was a full on production. I am talking we used to “broadcast” it on a speaker on a cordless phone, my neighbors mom would listen to the show faithfully. There would be music, talk, even commercials. It was my sister, our old friends Brad and Mike and of course me. There was occasionally another person but we were always the constant staff. We would play radio station all the time. My sister and Brad were the DJ’s I can’t remember what Mike did. What did I do…. I am sure you really wanna know. I was the sectary, because I didn’t have a good radio voice. Yes, poor little me had to pretend to write things. I didn’t even have the cool job. I was not allowed on the radio.
Even though I got the short end of the stick, it was still a lot of fun. Then again we always had fun with Brad and Mike. I have a lot of memories of them. We used to play baseball, Double Dare, and of course, Nintendo to name a few. I remember when this boy was picking on me and riding his little bike with his little friends in front of my house, Brad stepped in and protected me. I used to have a crush on Mike but yeah that was a million years ago. He’s a year younger than me I think.
Playing at the radio station was definitely an experience. I know it was kinda dorky but really we were semi dorky kids. I can’t remember what the radio station was called. I wonder if my sister remembers. Those were really good times although I am still haunted 20 or so years later that my voice isn’t radio worthy. What does that mean? Did I have like a squeaky voice or a man voice? Maybe it was a way for Julie and Brad to be in a spotlight and me chained to the desk pretending to answer phones. Don’t get me started on the Hamburger Dress incident. That is a whole other traumatic event, that needs it’s own post.

I love looking back at childhood games, my friend Steph and I would always play house and school. I miss those days, I always wonder what happened to a lot of childhood friends. hhhmm maybe I'll facebook them. Me and steph had remained friends since 1st grade so i know how she's doing and we love reminiscing about the "old" days hahaha
ReplyDeleteWhen we were kids, it was kind of like that, with David, Erin, Dustin and I. We would play school, or something, and David and Erin, were always the teachers, while Dustin and I were the students. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was your voice, that got you the job as secretary.
It always worked out for us kids. David and Erin, were the natural leaders of the group, and Dustin and I were content to just play along.
