I had no idea how to title this .. but please read the caption. It's really good, I promise!
Whipped this on up on Saturday, and it was a lot of fun to write. Some of this caption IS semi-autobiographical .. can you guess which parts have been pulled from my own life?
Yes, I was in boy scouts, and if I had stayed in, I'd certainly have become an Eagle Scout. When I was 15, all I needed was a service project and 2 merit badges, and I'd have become Eagle. I became disillusioned though by quite a few things that the leaders were doing / saying .. and I just dropped out. At one point, I was almost "poached" by a different troop that was looking to be recognized as an influential group in the area, and I was offered, "if you join the troop, we can have you make Eagle Scout in less than 2 months!" I passed.
And I do remember getting ahold of my dad's porn stash as a teenager, but it was standard magazines and VHS tapes. I was always careful to zero out the VCR when I put the tape in, and rewind exactly to the same spot, so I wouldn't get caught.
So each of those things flavored this caption, and just filled in some other details to make it pop like a Dee caption should. What do YOU think? Tell me down below!
I've also made a few "quickies" on Saturday, and I have quite a few that I need recipients for .. so maybe if you leave a message in the comment section, you'll become a star here on the blog!
What about their garlic knots?
ReplyDeleteGarlic knots are delicious!
DeleteWith all of the terrible things which had been happening in scouting with the leaders, you were smart and fortunate to get out! Zoe
ReplyDeleteYeah, unfortunately one of our local troops had a bad apple as an asst. leader, and ended up going to jail as he was quite inappropriate with a few of the younger scouts.
