Clubs/instruments Your Parents Made You Do

[Shiri]

They never made me do anything. Perhaps that's why I'm a coach potato?

[little miss sunshine]

Damn missing posts. Lauren had posted about Girl Guides and what bitches they were. I agreed because I did Brownies/Girl Guides for a few years but I hated those girls and quit.

[heyrabbit]

I did beavers. I remember i was mad cause I got the award for "cutest beaver", when everyone else got cooler awards like "fastest beaver" or whatever. I loved the coloring and various games.

ya I did cubs for a year but only because my best friend was in it. I really didn't like it. The only fun part was the camp out at the end of the year

[Lucmeister]

Is Cubs like boy scouts or something?

[inescapableus]

I did swimming, Brownies, Gymnastics, dance, 10 years of Piano lessons.

My parents were all about keeping me busy and out of their hair.

ya it is.. well one level before scouts. It goes Beaver, Cubs, then scouts

[Lauren]

i hated the overnight camps. the bitches always got to me and i always threw some sort of a tantrum. i think everyone really did hate me, though. i mean i was a psycho, but they made it worse. i remember that one time we went on a field trip thing and the leaders were super mad at me because i wouldn't wear the friggin' ugly hat. they yelled at me and stuff, but not at their own daughters who didn't have to wear hats.

I was in brownies/girl guides for something like 3 years. Those girls were total bitches! I quit because it ended up being on the same night as baseball.

i was a spark, brownie and girl guide. i hated it every year, yet kept doing it.

 

until i was a girl guide and was like "this is bullshit, yo" and stopped going

[Lauren]

i went into brownies young because at the time, there wasn't a spark unit. so they let me in at 6 or 7.

I never even got to go fricking camping. It got cancelled the year I was supposed to go. So bitter about that.

i hope u said that. when u were young. right to your folks. that would have been hi-larious

[Shiri]

Wow, I was in the scouts too, by choice... Umm...

[Kyle86]

10 years of goju ryu karate.

many years of swimming lessons.

 

definitely both things everyone should know. both build character and both could save your life one day.

[Prometheon]

And Kyle's intimidation factor climbs ever higher....

 

I took 2 months of tai kwon do (the most McDojo populated martial art of them all).

[supercanuk]

My parent's didnt make me do anything. Thank god. But they did want me to come camping with them, which i didnt mind, i loved it, but it worked for them cause i was young and they could'nt just leave me there.

[sodamntired]

my parents made me join Beavers...and i remember the story they told us about the Beaver that crossed the lake and became the Cub, but my parents didn't make me do anymore club camping stuff.

 

my american friends think its hillarious that i was in Beaver Scouts. my roommate wanted a shirt that just says Beaver Scout. i don't get it. is it some kind of sexual joke????

 

:angry: yay being naive!!!! ;)

[Lauren]

you're 23 and you don't get it?

[sodamntired]

i'm 22, thank you.

 

and this is another example of why the internet needs Sarcasm tags.

 

i thought the use of the wizard icon would show you that i was not being serious?

[Lauren]

it takes half an hour to load the emoticon things on dial-up.

[RicardoObviouso]

people still use dial-up?

[Kumquat]

My friend's co-worker does.

[ecnarf]

Damn luddites.

[RicardoObviouso]

My friend's co-worker does.

i dont know why, but that was funny.
