What’s a funny story from your childhood?
I have been handcuffed before, and not in the kinky kinda way!  I am a daughter of two cops and my sister and I would fight all the time.  My parents got sick of it and handcuffed us together for the day.  We had to do everything together, chores and all.  Little did they know my hand was so small that I could slip my wrist out and get away from her.  They never found out and thought it helped us not fight.

Mac and cheese!!!  If it is on the menu I have to at least try it once, maybe twice!

The Wild West.  Riding around on a horse, cowboys and outlaws everywhere.  Wide open land.  You had to be a bit of a bad ass to make it back then.  I love to go back and see the old towns that still keep the wild west feel.  Must be a Zonie thing.
