We went to Spain when I was about 4 and my sister was 2 and we went to a drive through safari park. As we were driving through we came to the elephants and we were all excited because Mum and Dad had bought us some peanuts to feed them with. Anyway Dad opened the window to feed this elephant and my sister and I both gave him some peanuts which he loved, so much in fact that he tried to get more by putting his trunk through the window. Dad told my sister to give the elephant more to which she replied that he'd had some and that would be greedy. Poor Dad got covered in green slime where the elephant wrapped his trunk round his neck and we were lucky it didn't turn the car over LOL My sister was adament though that it wouldn't get more!!!!Melaina25https://www.blogger.com/profile/10038762649811825748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649552098483696634.post-32588164520012529212012-08-08T00:37:49.335+01:002012-08-08T00:37:49.335+01:00What a great story!

I had a wellington boot and I was going to magic some money out of it. I put on a good show but towards the end I started to panic as I realised the magic probably wasn't going to work . It hadn't occurred to me before. I was just hoping to blag it. Anyway, when I abracadabra'd and turned the well upside down, 50p fell out and my dad said wow, that really was magic. I was amazed but acted cool and said something like well of course, I told you I could do magic..From that day on, I believed I had magic powers. Only at a much older age did I face the reality that my dad must have put the money in the boot when I was wasn't looking. I thought I was pretty clever at the time though ;)Melaina25https://www.blogger.com/profile/10038762649811825748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649552098483696634.post-10211654327470684452012-08-08T00:37:45.338+01:002012-08-08T00:37:45.338+01:00My father has a sweet tooth and would often make m...My father has a sweet tooth and would often make me some delicious creamy vanilla fudge when i was a child.These days i return the favour and try to make him some different types of fudge for Birthday and Xmas.Melaina25https://www.blogger.com/profile/10038762649811825748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649552098483696634.post-89363110547661868082012-08-08T00:37:44.307+01:002012-08-08T00:37:44.307+01:00I am impressed by this answer, really cool and inf...I am impressed by this answer, really cool and informative to me.Melaina25https://www.blogger.com/profile/10038762649811825748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649552098483696634.post-61214558372718388552012-08-08T00:37:43.365+01:002012-08-08T00:37:43.365+01:00A favourite memory of my dad is when he got marrie...A favourite memory of my dad is when he got married to his current partner, I don't think I've ever seen him so happy :) Melaina25https://www.blogger.com/profile/10038762649811825748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649552098483696634.post-39425100444948764772012-08-08T00:37:42.318+01:002012-08-08T00:37:42.318+01:00My fave memory of my son's Dad is when I watch...My fave memory of my son's Dad is when I watched him cradle his boy for the first time!
