9 on the 9th

Today I'm participating in my sister's 9 on the 9th post. So here are 9 Ways That I Must Have REALLY Embarrassed My Parents When I Was A Kid. (Note to Jack: Please, never repeat my mistakes!)
1. When I was a toddler (and even now) I would always wake up in the morning with wild hair...this led to my Dad calling me "Bush-head". My grandparents have the last name Bohner....and somehow this led to me calling everyone I knew and even people I did not know a "Bush-head Bohner". This leads to embarrassing Story #2.
2. When I was a toddler (and again, even now) I was very impatient. I was also a bit of a tomboy. My Mom took me to get my picture taken and I was in a nice dress. The photographer kept crossing my legs for me and when he'd turn around, I would uncross them. Finally after about the third or fourth time of him coming over to cross my legs I'd had enough and I shouted "Knock it off, Bush-head"!
3. In Nursery School we were always making projects. On one particular day we were making kites out of scraps of wallpaper. We were to make 2--one to hang up in school and one to take home. I told the teacher I was fine with making one for school but if I really wanted a kite for at home I'd have my dad buy me one.
4. In Nursery School I also told my Mom that it was "painting day" (all the kids had to wear old clothing) so my Mom sent me to school in sweatpants and a sweatshirt. But it turned out I was lying and it was actually picture day!
5. I also did something similar to my poor Mom around Halloween. Again, I was in Nursery School and I told my Mom that today was our Halloween party. She dressed me up as a clown in the full outfit and make-up and when she dropped me off at the school...well, you guessed it, no party!
6. In Kindergarten we were asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. I shocked everyone when I announced I wanted to "smoke cigarettes, drink beer, and say bad words just like my Pap". When I was told those weren't options, I decided I'd be a garbage-man.
7. I remember living across the street from a very nosy neighbor. She always knew our business and I couldn't stand it. One day when I saw her outside I made my little sister JeanAnn drop her pants and moon the old lady. Not one of the best decisions I'd ever made!
8. As a toddler I also couldn't stand people staring at me. My Mom and I were in the grocery store when I spotted an old lady lovingly staring at me. She wouldn't stop so I gave her the ugliest face I could make. A few moments later she approached my Mom and said "I was going to compliment you on what a beautiful little girl you have until she made an ugly face at me!!!"
9. One evening at dinner I saw my friend outside playing and I wanted to go outside too. My Mom told me to finish eating but I refused. So my Mom said "you either 1.) Finish eating and go out to play or 2.) Stop eating, take a spanking, and then go out to play." Well, the choice was simple, I took my spanking and happily ran outside to play.
As I watch my son (who is so much like me it's scary) and I remember these stories, I am suddenly scared of what lies ahead for me....what is it that they say about paybacks?
