Big Tomato coming

ninety9:

Filed under ‘cute things kids say’ apparently during a particularly bad midwest storm of my youth (not the one where I was struck by lighting) I worried to my mother that a ‘big tomato was coming down the street’. It’s big tomato weather today and she just reminded me of that (I hadn’t thought of it in years, even though it was a running joke in our household most of my life). Will live blog any tomatoes as they occur.

Filed under ‘revisionist history’.  It was our cousin JoeySteve who scared me about the “big tornado coming” and I thought it was a big tomato and would bring a pillow and my barbie doll case down the cellar every time it got dark and stormy and I thought a tomato was coming. You just started imitating what your smart older sis was saying.
