Until I was 16, my window was covered by a Winnie-the-Pooh bedsheet, nailed to the wall. Finally I complained, and my parents "splurged" to buy me mini-blinds. I felt so rich...
I was so poor, I couldn't even buy posters to hang in my room. My friends had Kathy Ireland in skimpy swimsuits, and I had Street Signs on my wall.
Did anyone else do this, or am I the only one?
I had No Trespassing Signs on my bedroom door (yeah, like THAT ever worked) and a Stop Sign above my bed. You know, just in case aliens tried to abduct me in the middle of the night. The big red STOP would make them listen...
And yes, I 'found' them in the middle of the night. I when through a phase in my teens where I 'found' a lot of things.
It actually started a game in my High School. My friends saw this, and wanted Road Signs of their own. Eventually the local law enforcement caught on, and people started getting in trouble. Fearing a raid on my house, I disposed of the signs in a nearby field...
...which is a shame, because now and then my girlfriend wishes I kept that old stop sign...
