You may be descended from Bruce and Ann Fillmore if . . .
10. . . . you use a red felt advent calendar at Christmastime
9. . . . you associate July 4th with flag ceremonies and fire drills
8. . . . you learned to drive in a van and/or a Ford Taurus
7. . . . you can spontaneously make up funny rhyming lyrics to any tune
6. . . . you see someone wearing heavy clothes on a warm day, and you say, "I'm getting hot just looking at you!"
5. . . . you ask your family members at bedtime: "Did you brush and flush? Did you pray and 'spray'?"
4. . . . your morning beverage of choice is Metamucil
3. . . . the mention of Metamucil reminds you of Dad's joke about it being "for our regular customers, or rather for our non-regular customers."
2. . . . you can bend your thumb back so it makes a 90 degree angle
and the number one way you might know if you're descended from Bruce and Ann Fillmore is
. . .
. . . if you're exceptionally smart and well-adjusted, not taller than 5'8", with bowed legs and a fairly decent singing voice, too.
Happy 41st Anniversary, Mom & Dad! You're special parents, and I appreciate all we've inherited from you.
love, Marcie
P.S. Siblings, what are your "You may be descended if. . ." ideas?
