Funny, sweet or even slightly embarrassing

Most of us have known Curly all of her life, while we have never lived close none of us have escaped without a slew of Clarissa memories. 

Barney sent this whole list of contributions... I think she enjoyed this days challenge ;) 

    One summer Uncle David's family was in town and staying with Grandpa and Grandma.  Clarissa and I were about 9 and 10. Grandma had invited me to come down and stay at her house with Clarissa. Grandma went out somewhere with Uncle David and Aunt Linda, Amanda and Derik.  Clarissa and I stayed at the house with Grandpa.  We were in the TV room and Grandpa came in and sat between us and offered to let us help him change his hearing aid batteries.  We thought it was a funny thing to have your granddaughters help with, but he seemed to think it was a privledge.  He even LET us lick the hearing aids so that they would slip in to his ears easier.  Clarissa and I have often laughed about how awkwardly funny that experience was. :)

     Another funny story was when we were at Cobblestone for Grandpa and Grandma's 50th anniversary.  There were 30 of us Hunts there that week.  One afternoon almost everyone went tubing or canoeing, but Clarissa and I decided to stay in our cabin to play a game.  When we finished our game we went up to see what everyone else was doing.  We walked ALL over the resort before we discovered that everyone that hadn't gone out on the river, had left to go to the fish hatchery nearby.  The two of us were the only Hunts left at the resort and we had no idea where everyone else was. I don't think we were scared just confused as to what had happened to everyone.

     Another summer that Uncle David's family was here and we went down to the spend the day with them.  All of us girls and Abe decided to have a fashion show.  We dressed up in some of Grandma's dress-ups and paraded up through the living room.

     The first time I ever remember seeing Clarissa was when both Uncle David and Aunt Ruth's families were in town.  It was the day that we took family pictures in Grandma's back yard.  I remember not knowing who she was and wondering why she kept following me around.  I clearly remember asking Grandma "Who is that girl?" :)

     We've always teased Clarissa about her Pennsylvania accent. :)  She thinks we are the ones that talk funny.:)  When we were staying at Uncle David and Aunt Linda's, when Clarissa and I were 12 and 13, we were playing Scrabble or Upwords on a team together. When it was our turn she suggested that we spell "PULL".  I was confused because I thought she was saying "POOL" and we didn't have an "O" let alone two "O's".  She kept insisting that we could spell it. Finally she just picked up the letters and layed them on the board and said "See I told told you we could spell it!"  :)
