When I Was Little...(continued)

As I was telling a story today, I remembered some more funny stories from when I was little.

Enjoy :]

- Once in a grocery store, my mom and I were in line at the check-out behind a rather large woman. Being the innocent, naive child that I was, I simply pointed straight at her, looked at my mom and exclaimed, "THAT LADY'S FAT!" To which my mother replied, "Sammi, you can't say that!" Not understanding, I asked, "But why, Mama? She is fat." Ah, kids say the darnedest things.

- Being brought up during the O.J. trials definitely took it's toll on me as a toddler. One day, while out and about once again with my mother, I saw an African American man. I pointed at him, as I did with the overweight woman, looked at my mom, and said, "O.J!" She freaked out and started walking the other way, hoping the man didn't hear. After we got home and she told my dad about the incident, he had an idea. He held up the newspaper to me and pointed to an average African American man, and I called him O.J. He did it again with a different black man, and I said he was O.J. as well. When I was small, I thought every black man was named O.J. :P

That's all I've got for now. If I remember any later, I'll make sure to post those. :]
