Are you related to me LOL! You didn't grow up in Pickens County Alabama did you! Yep we did all those things...I remember my cousin and I catching fire flies (we called the lightening bugs

) and then we snuck them in Nomie's house while we took a bath and somehow they all got out

I so remember us panicking and trying to catch them again before Nomie and Grandaddy knew we brought them inside
