Embarrassing Childhood Stories

Patty O'Lanterns ???

Ok so it's embarrassing story day, and what a story I have for you! We're talking about embarrassing childhood incidents here. We're talking about my seriously misinformed youth. (shakes his head laughing) Oh Scott, Scott, Scott...

So here goes; and when we say childhood memories, this one spans into my early teenage years.
We all know the song Patio Lanterns by Kim Mitchell, a classic song from my childhood era, the 80's. We all know the part about "who was gonna be who to be the first to kiss..." 

In my little world, the song was about a new girl at school who came to this coming of age party. She was an IRISH girl named PATTY O'LANTERNS.... so in my understanding, the song was about a junior-high party where all the boys had a crush on this Patty girl, and they were "all so shy and nervous," wondering "who was gonna be who to be the first to kiss... Patty O'Lanterns"
... apparently I missed the part about "under those Pattio Lanterns."

Scott, Scott, Scott... what was I thinking?

~ Scotty Gwyer


Apparently I'm not the only person fooled by this song's lyrics. https://www.guitarzone.com/forum/topic/15113-patty-o-lanterns/



Field Trip to the Farm

In Kindergarten we took a field trip from Minnedosa out to the Fergusson's ranch to play with the animals and learn about life on the farm. Being that I grew up in the Country I thought I was all good to go... Let's just say things didn't go as planned for the day.
We started our morning with a hay ride on a trailer being pulled by big heavy horses. I can imagine that the straw bales covering the hay wagon were from the barn area as well. Needless to say the horses were working up a sweat in the early June heat
So there I was, playing in the Hay and having an awesome time will all my school buddies. What I didn't notice was how red I was getting, or at least until I almost stopped breathing! Can you say scared teachers??? So, there I am on the school bus riding solo, emergency-style back to Minnedosa.
By this time of course, my breathing had returned to normal and I was covered in an itchy rash... a few weeks later we received test results that I was allergic to horses... good thing I didn't stay on the farm any longer, because after the hay ride was individual pony rides!
I guess in life there are easy lessons and there are hard lessons! I was a sad little cowboy for the next year after I learned that I could never ride a horse like I had seen at the rodeos.
