Someone asked for a different Question
One time I was riding down a highway in Oklahoma with one of my cousins. We'd been drinking and he didn't drive very well to begin with. So we are cruising along and here comes the State Trooper. He pulls us over and comes up and starts talking to my cousin. The trooper tells him he is going to give him a ticket. My cousin said he didn't need no tick kit cause his dog hadn't even been out in the brush. So the trooper tells him , "no,..the ticket where you go to court and the judge fines you." My cousin told him no judge had to fine him cause he wasn't even lost. He was right here. Well the trooper is getting just a little mad by now and asked my cousin if he had any I.D. My cousin looked up with the dumb look and says, "Bout what?"
Have you ever been horribly embarrassed by a cousin or any other family member? (Is that a better question than bout Christmas shopping?)

Just my ex husband. He used to embarrass me to the point I wanted to die regularly.
He threw a temper tantrum at a friends back party once because the neighbor hadn't lit the charcoal yet and he was getting hungry. I mean an absolute childish temper tantrum, shouting and all. After stomping around and pouting with me trying to shut it down in various ways by trying to get him to go home and grab a bite across the street, but NO, he wouldn't do that.
He did this, in front of probably 50 people, not only neighbors, but the man's other friends, and business associates as well.
The neighbor ladies came over a couple of days later to inform me kindly that they had decided to come let me know, that although they loved me and the kids very very much, and we would still see each other, and the kids could come over to play, etc…they would no longer be inviting us to neighborhood events, dinner, bbq's, etc because of my husband's behavior.
So then of course, the other kids would ask my kids at each event, why aren't you invited to the party?
How does a little 5 yr old explain her dad is a jerk?
Actually…she says..My dad's a jerk sometimes.
hahahah..she wasn't stupid.
/I didn't say it! She knew.She knew when she was 4, hahahaha.
Those are some good memories, when your little kid figures out some relative is…who they are.

Oh Mel, you know, Okies. Like when I helped them move one time from Ardmore to Idabelle. We went down and CarriedOkie from one town to another. Least none of them ever robbed the place they worked then knocked themselves out and said somebody robbed me. But my one cousin was sitting in his dumptruck one time talking to the boys at the work site, when his foot slipped off the clutch and the truck jumped real hard and he knocked himself out cold on the rearview mirror.

@TOB /snort!
Irish..that's okay, we'll make you and honorary member just as you are. I think growing up in a dirt floor cabin should get you a free ticket for all the cuzin rides, don't you think? I know if I had, I would. ;)
Oh, hey, my new housekeeper lived in a town until she was six, that the whole town didn't have running water until about 1968? A small town here in Kansas. They had hand pumps outside, but no indoor running water. Outhouses, big metal tubs to pour buckets of heated water in for baths..
And autie speaking of dump trucks. This wasn't as embarrassing as it might have been as I hadn't met the cuzin, but one of my younger, younger cuzin's…one of them son's of a second cuzin I never done heard of…stole a dump truck several years ago. Drove off with it, got arrested and put in jail for a while.
Turns out, he stole it from the man he had worked for.
Who happens to also be another cuzin, older than me.
Right out of his backyard. Like he wouldn't miss it or nuttin.
It wasn't just dumb, it was so dumb, none of us could believe it.
I mean, the man's name was written right on the side of it.
Everyone in town knew it.
It wasn't like he was going to blend into the crowd. That dump truck had been known in town for years and years.
You just can't get any stupider, than to steal a known marked dump truck in Lawrence KS!
OK, wait..I want a DNA test done on that boy…come to think of it, he was either very drunk, or there's something wrong there. Maybe the distant relatives have diluted the gene pool.

autie, do oakies use horse trailers to move furniture?
Uh…?? Yeah. Once you get the couch tied to the top of the escort and the back of the truck is full of pink flamingos and broken lawn chairs and the kids swing set…how else you supposed to move? But I do believe the proper protocol is to use a borrowed trailer, never one of your own. And there is a mandatory beer to mover person ratio that must be followed with a minimum of one twelve pack per mover person..that is male mover persons. Female mover person require much less beer but a certain amount of Baily's Irish Cream or Hot Damn. The standard move from the standard double wide would require at least one ford escort, an old buick (any model), three pickups with one towing the old Chrysler and one towing the horse trailer. Did I miss anything there boys?

By no means is this just an Okie thing, Mel. Feel free to jump all over the damn slavers to the east. OK is just easier for me cause I'm only a few miles away from the red dirt nation. Did you know that MacDonald county MO has the highest incidence of methamphetamine use and manufacture in the entire world? I guess thats what they do when they're not renting canoes or plucking chickens.

Now I think about it, we said ax for ask, and pitcher for picture. I used to be very embarrassed about it. Now I am proud of my heritage.
Thanks, Mulit, I have forgot my roots. Damn, and I was going to cast a spell.

autie, I grew up about halfway between Noel and Southwest City. I always liked the limestone bluffs along the river as you went to Noel. Can't remember the name of the river.
Everything was up or down a hill.
And, where did I go to college?

Ahh, the Elk River. Back in my younger days once I floated that passed out most of the way. I brought all my fishing gear, but nobody else did. And then the traffic on it was kind of high and made fishing pointless. Started to drink heavily.
