I cannot believe Lisa's father didn't have the decency to put clothes on when his daughter had a friend over or when it was time for dinner. I'm not impressed by that at all. I'm also surprised Lisa was allowed to have you come home after school when there were no adults home and then to start making and cooking dinner. I think the right thing would have been for Lisa's mom r dad to call your parents and tell them the situation. But that's just me.<br /><br />Isn't it wierd how issues we had with food when we were young sometimes remain with us today? I had a bad experience with a couple of dinners I had in the hospital for the first time when I was a little older than you. They were AWFUL. I still can't eat those dinner!<br /><br />Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-42680971340327711152009-10-22T07:57:40.368-07:002009-10-22T07:57:40.368-07:00Good story.

However, if the girls had friends coming over, the last thing I'd do is walk around in my boxers.<br /><br />I've never had Shepherd's Pie. I've only been aware of its existence in the last year or two as I saw it once in a cooking show and wondered what the heck that was. I'd be willing to try it though.L.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932409909043501781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-60328412596936585242009-10-22T00:23:04.045-07:002009-10-22T00:23:04.045-07:00Loved the story.

Don't be so hard on yourself for the delay with awards and emails. We're all doing the best we can, and you do a lot better than most :) I enjoyed this story from your childhood. My daughter is in 3rd and I can't imagine her walking home from school or even turning on the oven by herself. It's such a different world we live in now! <br /><br />Jenn @ rookno17.blogspot.comJenn Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484708374808620986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-481891095596670912009-10-21T17:10:59.022-07:002009-10-21T17:10:59.022-07:00Man I would have died if my dad walked around in h...Man I would have died if my dad walked around in his undies in front of me.

I went home in 6th grade with a friend that lived in a trailor park in a small town in Minnesota. I had never even been in one. I didn't feel sorry for her, I thought it was cool. Then she remembered she had to help a neighbor watch her two very small children. I went with her to help. That trailor was like the disgusting ones you'd see on some mental health show on Oprah. Dirty diapers on the floor along with very dirty clothes 2-3 feet deep everywhere. The smell I can remember to this day. We were just supposed to play with the kids, but I told Steph to watch them, and I cleaned and cleaned as much as I could. I felt like crying thinking of the neglect I was witnessing. The kids, babies really, were filthy. But it made me thankful...so thankful...and gave me compassion for what other kids see and experience every day. Thanks for your post.

Although, if you're ever feeling daring, I do have a published Sweet Potato and Turkey Shepherd's Pie recipe over on Allrecipes ;) (I've never had the beef or I suppose, lamb, versions of shepherd's pie...)<br /><br />I have a "dad-in-his-underwear" story too! I was on a 2nd date with a guy and we stopped by his house to pick up his brother & date...Hid good ol' Dad was in his roos too, and just a little too friendly with us ladies...really creepy!ChristineMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851502547567088841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-59563573344867697842009-10-21T13:15:48.983-07:002009-10-21T13:15:48.983-07:00Loved the story.=]

As for being alone at a young age, I was 9 when my mom was taking night classes and had no choice but to leave me in charge of my brothers, who were 6 and 3 at the time. It was scary for me, and for her, I'm sure, but we survived.Tattoos and Teething Ringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270580320534546202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-84873628595475376332009-10-21T09:30:27.692-07:002009-10-21T09:30:27.692-07:00You always tell a good story.

I'm shocked at some of it, especially cooking alone at age 9, but you had me laughing about being served a second piece because you ate the first one so fast. haha! My mom never made Shepherd's Pie, but it sounded good to me, so I made it for the first time last winter and I loved it. There are tons of different ways to make it.Chicago Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08684234947777814989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-52318947071961067042009-10-21T08:26:24.295-07:002009-10-21T08:26:24.295-07:00That was a scary story, Su!
