Betcha Didn’t Know (#4 Random Fact About Me)

There’s a note going around on Facebook, “25 Random Facts About Me”, where people tag you to read their 25 random facts and then you are supposed to in turn write 25 facts about yourself. I liked reading about my friends and definitely found out things that I didn’t know before. Well, I figured that I needed more room than Facebook allowed, so why not bring it on home where I can get really funki? Get ready to find out more than you ever wanted to know about Funkidivagirl.

Betcha didn’t know that….

#4 I was a Keebler Elf.

Oh, you never would believe where those Keebler cookies come from

They’re baked by little elves in a hollow tree.

No, you never would believe where those Keebler cookies come from

They’re baked by magic elves and there’s no factory.

It’s scary that I can still remember that, as it was quite a long time ago that I was a Keebler elf. Over the course of a long weekend my cousins and I were paid to dress like elves and pass out cookie coupons in Jewel supermarket. We had on the hat, shoes–everything–and looked just like Keebler elves (except we were much younger and browner and taller). All weekend that song blasted from a boom box nearby; a 30 second song that looped over and over again for hours. Talk about slowly losing your mind; by the end of the weekend we had even made up a little jig to go along with the song.

I don’t even like cookies. Hmmm….I wonder if there is any connection?

Betcha didn’t know that……

#2 I have toys in my home office. And they’re all mine.

#3 I have a library call number.
