Of course, that was b/c ONLY Gypsies got their ears pierced 
I also got "If you don't shut up, I'm going to slap you silly" (I usually shut up, LOL) and
"How would you like your allowance suspended for a month?" |
My mom did the gypsy thing to my brother. She also came up with this bizarre story about "thump thump big feet".
Old Thump Thump was apparently a horrible old hag of a giant woman with (obviously) large feet, who would come for bad little boys in the night. You'd know she was coming by the awful thumps of her feet. I know- it's awful! I already said my mom was not very maternal. It's funny though- we are actually good friends now that I'm an adult and don't require a mommy (which she was obviously not cut out to be
).
