So this morning Brittany Gray told me a terrible story about when she was growing up. She had this little friend named Gary who one time gave her a Barbie doll with a plastic curling iron and she was really excited to curl the doll’s hair. But then found out the curling iron was plastic and didn’t talk to Gary for a really long time. SAD! I can only imagine Gary looked like this..
And that Brittany Gray looked like this..
(Hey! This is MY imagination- I can do whatever I want)
So then I started thinking about all those things you do as a little kid that later you think “wow..I was a real jerk”. So I thought I’d do an apology list. If you have one- keep it in mind for the Q Wake Up Crew- we’ll be doing these on the air too…
-To my brother Michael (aka- Beardsley McBearderson) for basically making you cry all the time. Sorry that when Kate and I drank hot chocolate we’d say we were having a “ladies club meeting” so you couldn’t join us unless you were the janitor and cleaned up after us. Also sorry for tricking you at the bus stop that one morning when you hit me and pretending I was dead until you cried….sorry!!
(I now know why you have a beard)
-Sorry to my neighbor girl Janie who sometimes for no reason I didnt want to play with so I wouldn’t answer the door when she knocked on it. And also for that bladder infection you got for not going to the bathroom because you were afraid that we would run away if you went inside.
-Sorry to all those boys that I totally liked but since I was nervous I was really mean to them instead- that list includes…wait..no- scratch that- my mom still reads this and she’ll totally squeal on me. lol! Basically if I was mean to you I probably liked you. Let’s just leave it at that. 
I think that’s all I feel guilty about right now- but either way- not good stuff Nikki. It’s amazing that when you think back to when you were little how small of a conscience you really have. And how easy it was to just be mean and not care- when now as an adult we are much more concerned with how others feel. Ahh growing up- we learn so much. SO maybe today would be a good day to find your “Gary” and tell them you’re sorry.
Brittany Gray- I’m buying you this for your birthday next year..

And since we are on the topic of apologies, I guess I’ll add my own. Sorry to you, Nikki G, for duct taping you into that box, sitting on it, and ignoring your screams for help. I realize now that I should have had the decency of poking air holes like people do for puppies.

HAHAHAHAH!! That’s RIGHT you owe me an apology! I was scarred for life. No wonder I have to be on the radio- I could have been the next Food Network star but I’m terrified to show my face out of the cardboard prison in my mind.
FOR SHAME!

OH MY GOSH! THAT’S THE SAME CURLING IRON! (well, my was pink but there no use arguing semantics)
I’ve got another apology. I’m sorry for that time I made you eat a horribly unhealthy lunch like 2 hours from now.
