Reed's Remember When ...

This Blog is dedicated to remembering things the way they used to be and tying them to today. Not everything in the 'good old days' were good, but a lot of things still have merit. For instance, 'Remember When a half-gallon of ice cream was actually 2 quarts vice 1.75 quarts today? What's up with that?'

Name: Reed
Location: Midwest, United States

Trying to make sense of 'today' and ensure my children grow up with the beliefs that were instilled in me. Give them the best start in life. Stress do the 'right thing, the first time, every time.'

Reed's Remember Grandpa Sneezing

Remember when your Grandfather used to sneeze?  You would be over at your Grandparents house and all of a sudden; the whole house would shake in concert with the loudest noise made by human vocal cords.  Your heart would skip a beat, your ‘fight or flight’ reflex would kick in - until a split second later you realized it was just Grandpa sneezing.

Growing up near my Grandparents offered some fond memories.  One I will always have is of my Grandpa sneezing.  Man could he sneeze.  It was so loud (say it with me ‘How loud was it?’) I swear the windows would rattle.  I didn’t dare take a nap due to worrying whether or not I would be bounced off their couch by the percussion of the sound waves generated in a fraction of a second and traveling at 775 mph!

Do you remember your Grandparents voice?  The way they laugh?  I do.  If they are still here on this earth with you, get a tape recorder out and record their voices and laughter, stories from their childhood, and what your parents were like when they were little.  Take advantage of that time.  Plus, you never know, you might even record your Grandpa sneezing!
