Did you know that when children are left in Disney World, if they're not claimed in 24 hours Maintence attaches their feet to the floor and puts them in Small World. Betcha didn't know that.
Hmmm...See Family Guy a couple of Weeks ago?
No. Was it about this?

After the day care teacher shows a Lois a bunch of Stewie's drawings showing his desire to kill Lois, Lois realizes that ::gasp:: none of them have Peter in it. So Lois forces Peter to play a bigger role in Stewie's life. So Peter takes Stewie to DisneyWorld but loses him in one of the stores. Disney security find him and put him in shackles as a little Dutch boy singing "It's a tiny, tiny world."

My Aunt, Uncle and family went on vacation. They stopped at a hotel about 7 hours away. As they were walking into their room, a guy in the parking lot yells to them because he saw my cousin's varsity gym bag. He asked if they were from _____ because he lived in the town next to it. Then after quick intros, they find out the guy in the parking lot was my 2nd cousin from the other side of my family! He was on his way home from vacation.

Maybe the dude got that idea from my brother. They'll be hearing from his lawyer.

All the syllables are hurting my head. Doppelterroist?? Animaganger??? This sounds dangerous. I might need a body guard, and a pencil.

I have lots of Small World stories. It drives Peggy nuts that everywhere we go, I run into someone I know. It happened when we were in Boston, it happened when we were in St. Louis. The topper will be if I run into someone in Scotland next year!
But my best Small World story
When I was in college, junior year, I became friends with a girl, Sarah Inman, who was in a class with me. Sarah was a freshman. We discovered that we had the same birthday, only 2 years apart. She was a really cute blonde. I had found out that she liked me. That is another story altogether.* It was OK with me, because I had a crush on her, too. Only problem was, I had a girlfriend. By the time I had broken up with Lora, she was seeing Andy. Once they broke up, I was seeing Diane. Etc, etc, etc. It never worked out, timing-wise. But we liked each other and flirted. Anyhow....senior year, I went on a school-related trip to Atlanta. When I got back, I had a lot of laundry to do. The first day back, Sarah and I were in a Biology lecture together, chatting about stuff, and ignoring the lecture, of course. I told her that I was heading out to my cousin's house in Hartland to do my laundry that night. She mentioned that she also had cousins in Hartland. As we kept talking, we slowly realized we were talking ABOUT THE SAME PEOPLE!!!!
WE ARE COUSINS! Well, we both broke out laughing, getting dirty looks from Dr. Clausz. I explained to him later what happened, and he said, "well, since it was Biology class, I guess I can forgive you!"
Needless to say, we never dated.
*
In case you are interested in THAT part of the story. ONe day I was in Sarahs dorm room with my girlfriend of the time, Diane, Sarah, Sarah's roommate Christi, and a friend of theirs from back home. Sarah suddenly started doing sign language to the friend. The last sign looked like she was surruptitiously pointing at me. I bluffed. I told Sarah, "I know sign language". She blushed, freaked out, and ran out of the room. I turned to the friend and said, "I don't actually know sign. What did she say. The friend told me Sarah had said, "I want to sleep with him".

Mine may or may not qualify as a "small world" story.
Summer of 1989, I was heading home from college and was heading thru Valley City, ND. I had gone to VCSC for two years before heading out to MSU. On a whim, I pull off the interstate, and head into town to see what had changed. Driving thru campus, things looked the same, and so I decided to check out one other place. My first roommate's aunt had taught at VCSC for her entire career, and lived just across the river from the campus. We had been invited over for dinner several times, and she was almost like adopted family.
As I drove by the house, I recognized a car parked out front, and I pulled in behind it. Got out, went up, and knocked on the door. Turns out my old roommate and his wife had just gotten into town about 20 minutes before I got there and were on their way west to see his folks in Bismarck.

My small world story is a bit embarrassing.....
I played Beach Volley Ball with a regular group of peeps in the late eighties. One day after a game several of them invited me to a tournament in a resort 30 miles from the beach.... I thought it might be fun to go cheer them on.... What they didnt tell me was that it was at a clothing optional resort..... and I didnt find it out until we were inside the gates!
Anyway...I am sitting there soaking up the rays in my bathing suit, watching the game and started chatting with a couple sitting next to me. They were nekked as jaybirds.... but after a while you tend to get past that....
Anyway... they told me they were from a small town in NY in the Catskill Mountains... I said..."Oh my godparents live in the Catskills".... And you guessed it.... these people lived in the same town and went to church with my godparents.... Needless to say.... I was asked not to mention our little meeting!!
I have had a laugh about that one for years...but I never said a word!

2 years ago a buddy and I went to one of the Harley Davidson 100th anniversary parties that were all over town. At the place we wound up, there was a tent set up selling beer and with a stage that had some sort of bikini modeling thing going on... In this tent, there were 3 girls that decided to put on their own "show", which my buddy and I (as well as half the guys there) watched. When they closed for the night, I heard someone calling my name as we were leaving. It was one of the girls, I went to high school with her.
I also work with the father of a girl I was good friends with in high school.

I haven't talked to her since we were away this past weekend. A small world would be if she went with your brother! I just know that it was someone she went to St. Mary's with last year.

Here's another one that is appropriate for today.
My aforementioned best friend Melissa and I met when we worked together about 11 years ago. We were very good friends, even after we both found new jobs. But, I moved to Minnesota and we kind of lost touch for a while. When I had moved back to Colorado for about six months, I ran into her on the reception floor of where I worked at the time. Turns out, she was working in the same building for the same company (but on a different floor). We reconnected and have kept in touch since (even though I see Renee more than I see Melissa!).
In fact, I'm having lunch with her today!
