Re: SEE IF YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THESE
I giggled through most of those except the ones about fathers. I was very very upset and offended and, and, and other terrible afflictions which I'll never get over. I never knew my father. On my birth certificate under Name of Father it said 'Some soldiers'.
Now apologise!

Re: SEE IF YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THESE
Reading through that list I am reminded my parents were part of the greatest generation; they said every one of those things to me and taught me well.
Take care, Brett

Birth certificate was a apology letter from the condom company?Ron Attwood wrote: ↑31 May 2023, 11:41 I never knew my father. On my birth certificate under Name of Father it said 'Some soldiers'.
"Handsome Stranger. That's an interesting name."
"Yeah, I was named after my father."
"What was he like?"
"I don't know, I never met him."

Interesting true fact: Pennsylvania doesn't recognize the concept of bastardy. A single mother can take the father's last name if she wishes, and in any case it will be on the birth certificate. All children are considered legitimate.
