Horses, Bulldogs and the devil?
I swear that I heard an interview when you relayed a funny family vacation story when you were kids. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Did you say that Mona didn’t want to ride a particular horse because he looked evil? I thought that was hilarious!!
Ok, here’s the part about Bulldogs and the devil. When we were kids, we would always listen to the Beatles. We would dance and sing and just have a blast.
One time, my uptight, religious cousin was babysitting us. We were singing and dancing to Hey, Bulldog. She proceeded to tell us that was devil music. We just looked at her like she was crazy and continued to sing “jack knife in your sweaty hand” just a little louder. Of course, she walked away in disgust. Basically, she got paid and the Beatles did all the baby sitting.

Haha, the horse story! Yes, we once were staying on a campsite in Croatia where they offered horse riding excursions through the countryside. We must have been 6 or 7 at the time and dad let us sign up for a trip which we were really excited about.
While we were getting the horses ready, for whatever reason, I got it in my head that the horse they assigned to me was evil. It had a certain angry look about it and it scared me to death.
So I talked myself into a panic attack of some sort, freaked out for about an hour for no real reason and refused to join the trip. Dad found it funny which only made me more angry. 😉 When I finally calmed down I joined a different riding group than Lisa (because they had already taken off) but still with the same horse – and as it turned out my horse was the sweetest, most well behaved horse out of the whole group!
So it turns out, I was wrong. Not my proudest moment. Maybe there is a “don’t judge a book by its cover” lesson in there or perhaps I just don’t know horses that well.
The “Hey Bulldog” story is funny. Thank god you didn’t dance to Helter Skelter or god knows what might have happened!
Always keep dancing! 😉
