1. Can you remember your first date? 2. Did you belong to a youth club or similar in your teens? 3. Can you roller skate? 4. What did you have for breakfast this morning?
Here are my answers:
It wasn’t good. We went to Burger King and during the meal, I sneaked away to a payphone, called my dad and had him pick me up. lol That poor boy.
Yes, I belonged to Youth Group.
Oh, yes. My friends and I went roller skating every Thursday at World of Wheels, and it was a blast.
Tomato juice. I didn’t feel like anything else.
Thank you, Di, for this great group of questions! This was fun!
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!
I don’t know if this this counts as a date, but it’s my favourite. We were sitting on the stoep at my little fiend’s home in Northern Rhodesia in the1950s. Two little eight-year-olds. While holding hands, she leaned over and kissed me. I’ve never been the same since. 2. I was a boy scout who experienced some amazing adventures under the African sun. 3. Sadly, no. 4. A freshly made bowl of mixed fruit and cereal (I have an angel for a wife, who loves me.)
Another favourite post of yours that I enjoy – Thank you Kymber, keep up the great work.
Happy timezones, my friend!
1) Yes, I do! I was in junior high, and my parents drove us to see a movie. Heck if I remember the movie! But it was also my first kiss. Years later, I have connected with the person on Facebook, and we are good friends. 💜
2) Not really. I keep hearing that there was a teen club close to the movie theater, downtown, but the closest I came to that was my church youth group. And, of course, the high school band. I mean, that was a club all its own.
3) Sort of? I haven’t tried in years. I’m dangerous, though, because I tend to flail my arms when I’m losing my balance, which results in me hitting people in the face.
4) I don’t usually eat breakfast, these days. But since “breakfast” is technically the first thing you eat after an eight-hour “fast,” I had Blackened Chicken, an HEB Meal Simple meal, for “breakfast” (lunch, really).
My friends and I loved to roller skate at the Rolladium in Waterford every Friday night! We had our own speed skates and got booted out once or twice for going too fast. A serious crime! 🤭😂 Great days, great memories…
That sounds like so much fun! I love that! I’ve been roller skating at the Rolladium and it’s so much fun. World of Wheels is in Ann Arbor where I lived when I was in middle school. We used to eat at Chi-Chi’s first, then head over to WoW. I love hearing about your memories. 🙂 Oh, and I was given a warning one time in 8th grade because I was whipping around the rink like I owned it. haha
My first date was a baseball game. I received straight-A tickets to the St. Louis Cardinals games. I was upset because he didn’t know anything about baseball. That was a major ding.
I am the second eldest of eight. So yes, I was a part of a youth group.
I can roller-skate. I want to start going again.
Coffee for breakfast.

Poor guy indeed. I guess that was when BK combos were like $2.99, so if that’s the case, I don’t feel too bad for the guy. 😂

Okay that Burger King escape… I actually laughed 😄 calling your dad mid-date is bold.
Also roller skating every Thursday? that sounds like a whole vibe, not just a phase.
You write these like you’re just talking and somehow it pulls you right in.
Now I’m curious what’s the story behind that “poor boy” 😄

Thanks for joining in Kymber.
Thank you, Di, for creating the challenge. It’s so much fun!
You’re welcome.

Love your answers. I can see why the fact he didn’t know anything about baseball bummed you out. It would me, too.
Good answers. You had a fun childhood.
Thanks. I can’t complain. 😀
