Memories from our Childhood with
Anne & Tom
by Jennifer & Weston
“I knew if I misbehaved, Tom would cut my bum up and eat it with ketchup.”
‒ Weston
“The layout of the yard was the ultimate best for Capture the Flag, and I think we played 237 games of it each summer.”
‒ Jenn
“I feel bad about all the ground beef Kerry and I wasted trying to make hamburgers in the microwave.”
‒ Jenn
“The Gallagher house was the only place I could chop a head off a dead bird and not be called a future serial killer.”
‒ Jenn
“I remember all the neighbors...the dude that loved the band KISS. Oh and Tolopolous loved to moon everyone.”
‒ Weston
“I loved the parade every year! We would put bang snaps on the street so all the people marching would step on them. And Bry would chase the emergency vehicles at the very end.”
‒ Weston
“We all loved going to the beach with Anne and Celine because they would drink Toasted Almonds all day and could care less about anything we did.”
‒ Jenn
“The bear story from NH has become a legend in my house with my kids.”
‒ Jenn
The Spanking Machine by Weston
“There were so many things that I loved about going to Ann and Toms... like biking to the football field, playing tag football, getting a hot dog and ice cream at Friendly’s for 2 bucks. Oh and releevio. All the releevio...”
‒ Weston
“Poor Anne lost her sh*t when 411 called back like 20 times telling her to have her phone number stop prank calling them.”
‒ Jenn
“The Gallagher house had stuff that I didn’t have, like a mountain in the backyard.”
‒ Weston
“I would do anything right now to get that pop-up haunted house book in my hands again...”
‒ Jenn
The Spanking Machine by Jenn
“The Gallaghers had better stuff than us: HBO with Fraggle Rock.. and an Apple 2G computer! Kerry and I wrote the grossest stories on it, and if anyone read them, we would have been institutionalized.”
‒ Jenn
“The free-standing garage had so many secrets in it... at least I think it did.”
‒ Jenn
“Lots of memories about NH. As ‘adults’- I plead The Fifth. As kids - the rope swing, water-skiing… and that goddamn bear.”
‒ Weston
“The basement at 43 Crawford seemed to have like 20 rooms in it... and it made us do weird things. One time, Kerry and I decided to make a ‘Getting Old Barbie.’ We cut all the blond hair off and stuffed her head with lint from the dryer.”
‒ Jenn
“The basement at 43 Crawford Street was an absolute rubber room.”
‒ Weston
“I’m not sure if we got in trouble for the stuff we did, or we hid it well...Kerry and I put a giant amount of shaving cream on Mike’s hand and tickled his nose at like 1 am and it was a giant mess!”
‒ Jenn
“Beans beans the magical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot, the more you toot the better you feel, now you're ready for another meal.”
‒ Weston
Happy Anniversary Annie Fanny & Tom Bomb!
We love you!
- Jennifer and Weston
“P.S. The nicest Gallagher kid was definitely Scruffy.”
