I always kind of feel bad for babies. They can't just tell you something like "Hey, this diaper creme isn't working" or "This blanket is too scratchy!", all they can do is cry and hope the parent finds what is wrong.

I was playing with my little nephew while he laid on his back, moving his little legs like riding a bicycle, well, it triggered an internal response.
Sounded as loud as an adult!, I think he might have even jumped when it happened.

Startled...
That probably surprised him as much as it did you, lol!

I think one of the worse times I was startled, was when lightning struck close by.

Thunder...
That would be startling. I never used to mind lightning, but now I don't like it at all.

Wonder how you would react to a Tornado, we get them seasonally

Funnel Clouds...

Tornado's are sort of partly why I started being scared of lightning, I think. I was in Ontario years and years ago, and they had a thunder storm that made the thunderstorms around here seem like a cakewalk. Then we headed home through New York state during a rainstorm so bad it was hard to see through the windshield, and there was a tornado watch. Then we started seeing circular clouds in the sky. At the time, it just seemed like a crazy adventure, but when I got home for some reason when there was lightning I feel a range of uneasy to downright scared. Phobias/fears are weird,lol. :laugh:

straight line winds

Our home has never been directly hit, but, we have gotten up in the morning after a rough night to see tons of debris in our yard and on the roof.
A ride around a few miles away, we saw the damage and where all that pink insulation had come from.
Scary and real.

Damage...

I imagine it is scary! We had a tornado in my province last year, apparently, but I guess we hadn't had a confirmed one for something like 22 years before that. I hope it stays that way.
It makes you wonder how our ancestors coped with tornadoes. Surely they must have thought it was the wrath of whatever goddesses or gods they worshiped, how would they ever understand what was really happening?

Horrific

I'd like to be like Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ
Let me fall on a witch!

Awful...

Hopefully, you'd get a pair of magic slippers out of the deal, hehe.

wonder if they'd be Ruby red

Either that or silver, if you go by the wizard of oz book. :)

LOL

Some days I feel like the wicked witch tho, let's say most?

No, you strike me as more of the Glinda type. :)

Depends on who you ask!

Munchkins!

I'm never wicked witch-like as long as I've had enough tea, but not too much tea, I've had enough sleep, I haven't had too much sleep, I'm not hangry. I'm not too hot, I'm not too cold, I'm not too full, and my husband doesn't annoy me. lol! :laugh:

Munchkinland...

I got a few things I could add to that list, but, not writing a book here

Emerald city

Spectacles... :)

Horse of a different color

Jello powder...

I read the horses were covered in jello powder because it had to be a substance the aspca approved of. I was delighted to read that, I didn't even know there was someone watching out for animals back then. :)

Too bad there wasn't an equal advocate for Judy Garland, as I see she wasn't treated very well. :sad:

I think we would be very surprised to learn of things that happened way back then.

poppies

Yes, we probably would be.

In Flanders Field...

poppies

Poppy seed muffins...

white chocolate macadamia

Delicious...

sweet tooth

I used to play a game called that on Pogo back in the day. :)

I played backgammon

I think I played that once or twice. I think I remember playing Vaults of Atlantis, too. :)

I even played in tournaments

tennis...

I don't think I played in any of the tournaments. One of my friends won money there once. Just a small sum. :)

To me, tennis is endurance

...training

I never really played tennis too much. Badminton used to be alright, but I could probably think of a million other things I'd rather do, too. :laugh:

Since childhood I wanted to be a competitive swimmer

Oh, that would be awesome. I'm not much of a swimmer myself. :)
Synchronized swimming...

C"mon girl, let's do the backstroke

I might do better with the doggy paddle. :laugh:

I might be prejudiced but, I always enjoyed watching Michael Phelps swim and win!
