Karen,
37--one summer day my older sister and I pretended to be French--she actually spoke it and I assumed the accent--it was fun going to a rodeo in Morgan, UT and pretending to be French.

57--Wonder Twins! I was the girl, and my best friend was the boy.

87--I've also had octopus, frog's legs, and duck brain.

123--All of Europe, some of Asia and some of the middle east.

135--Several actually, Countee Cullen (Harlem poet), John Irving (20th century novelist), Pablo Neruda (poet), Margaret Atwood (amazing novelist and poet) and many more thanks to working in both a book store and library for many years.

16, 54, 79, 99, 123

So I didn't read the whole list, but the whole giggled at the worst moment reminded me of when I totally did that! My friend and I sat on a freakishly squeaky bench in a very empty young adult ward and realized it in the middle of the sacrament. We laughed so hard the bishop asked us what was going on when the meeting was over.

P.S. I had to stop reading because really I'm jealous. haha
