4 Days - My Life in Song Titles With Parentheses and Run-On Sentences

Today's theme (thanks to one of my top g-chat-at-work buddies, Molly) is "My Life in Song Titles with Parentheses and Run-on Sentences". I'll assign a song title to each event or season of my life. This track-list is in somewhat chronological order up through high school.

  • It's a Boy! (or, The Child Who Came Out of the Womb Sweating)
  • "Slow Down, Please!" (or, Mom's Famous Last Words Before Rushing the Kids into the House While an Undercover Police Officer Gets a Shotgun Out of His Trunk and Breaks Down the Neighbors' Door)
  • Swing-set For Sale! (or, The Story of Two Child-Entrepreneurs Who Sold Their Swing-set In Order to Buy a Nintendo Entertainment System)
  • Becoming Left-Handed (or, the First Day of Kindergarten With a Broken Elbow From Climbing Up the Door Frame Like Spider-Man and Being Pushed From Behind By Someone Who Shall Remain Unnamed)
  • What Should We Watch? (or, Memorizing Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Dumb and Dumber)
  • Hampsey's Funeral
  • Wearing T-Shirts While Swimming May Not Look Cool, But When You're Sunburned This Bad, It's Necessary (or, The Family's First Trip to Florida)
  • The Butt Cut and An Unhealthy Obsession With All Things Star Wars (The Middle School Years, Part I)
  • Because Stone Cold Said So! (Professional Wrestling Pay-Per-View Events, or, The Middle School Years, Part II)

  • Cut From the Golf Team (or, The Last Time I Ever Played Organized Sports)
  • Are You Still Awake? (or, Meeting Jesus at a Sleep-over)
