Funny childhood stories.

Posted by Scott | April 28, 2006 .

So on one of the last few days of work we started telling stories about how we were nerds as kids, and how funny things happened to us. I had quite a few and decided to go with my story about the Reebok Pumps. Everyone got a good laugh out of it. Today as Im doing some things on the computer, and have itunes playing as usual Kriss Kross began playing, and it reminded me of another funny story from my childhood. So I thought I would post it here and share with everyone to get another good laugh at my expense. So here goes.

When I was in third grade, that was the era of Kriss Kross and their lyrical genius. One of their trademarks was wearing their clothes backwards. Why? I have no idea, but it worked for them. So one day in third grade I decided I wanted to be as cool as Kriss and Kross, so I put my jacket on backwards and got someone to zip it up for me. Now let me set the picture for you. I am in the 3rd grade, its the 80s so my jacket was a lime green and other horrificly colored wind jacket, I’m skinny, I have bad haircuts, and I have big glasses as was the only choice in the 80s.

So back to the jacket being on backwards. I get a “friend” to help me zip it up and they zip it all the way up. I realized that I am not kriss kross and i look like an idiot, so I want to take my jacket off, but i cant unzip it. Its on backwards and zipped up and i cant reach the zipper to get it off, and no one will help me. Eventually the teacher helps me get it off and the rest is history. Kriss Kross’s career is over and so are my days of wearing backwards clothes.

If you have any stories such as these, please post them so I can laugh at someone else other than myself once in a while.

    no worries, Kris Kross rocked. I rocked a mohawk in 4th grade. Backwards jacket couldn’t be any worse then a mohawk.
