Riveting Tales from Childhood,
with Valuable Life Lessons

about these stories

Originally, I wrote this collection of tales for my daughters, Dana and Ally. I hope these snippets about family and friends will trigger memories of your own childhood and make you chuckle, blush, and shake your head in disbelief as you recall the weird stuff that actually happens as you attempt to navigate life.

More importantly, I hope the stories will spark something in you. Go out and do something stupid, then write about it. You’ll never regret it.
