You woke me up for this ? ? ? ?

I received a phone call from Mandy last night asking me if I remember when New Kids on the Block came to Goldsboro. I told her of course I did, and she asked me if Kathy "really" got underwear signed. I told her Yes, both of them did.  She didn't remember, but this is how the story goes.
The NKOB came to Goldsboro and were going to be at the mall. Hundreds and hundreds of people were there. Body guards, security, it was almost impossible to get near the stage. Everyone was wanting autographs, but not a lot were able to go up on stage (same place the stage always is, in front of Belks). So, I decide to have the girls run into Belks and buy two pair of underwear.....(this idea coming from the 60's era)!  When they got back flashing the underwear, the Security guards were quick to escort them up on stage to get them signed.
Now, was this contributing to the delinquency of a minor....perhaps. But it was something I knew they would never forget.....except for Mandy. She had forgotten about it. That wasn't the end of the story. After we left the mall, later that evening we went to the Holiday Inn where they were staying.
The girls ran up and down to see if they could figure out which rooms they were staying in! We parked in the back and waited.....but we never saw them arrive. Oh well, at least it was all exciting.

This is a conversation Mandy was having with some of Kat's friends. They had told her that Kathy was there, and she didn't believe it!  It's amazing how we can remember some of out childhood, but not other parts.


Mandy Pate Gesh ur old. Lol. I'm pretty sure Judy didn't let us out of the house for that.

Mandy Pate So mom said y'all are right. And apparently it was her idea for us to get the underwear for them to sign.
