1981

for years my mom told us that this tornado destroyed our jungle gym when i was a kid.

i believe this for years until my mom let it slipped that it was falling apart and needed to go.

serinia had just been born and that day we were driving to my uncle's farm so i don't remember the tornado. i don't remember the tornado but i remember the radio warning about it and then my grandma and aunt talking about the damage that happened in the city the next day.

then we learned that our beloved gym was hit by it. i also think a tree in our back yard went down, but i don't remember.

All this tornado talk. Good thing I already renamed my friends page to something appropriate.

I think there's a Married with CHildren episode involving something similar.

My parents say that they drove through the rubble to the hospital to have me. The stupid doctor almost killed me anyway. But I suppose that means I am untornadoable.
