This giveaway is closed. The winner is LAMusing who commented, “grade school where I spent the entire day trying to keep my tights from rolling down around my knees. I was embarrassed and exhausted by th end of the day LOL.”
Ragu is a favorite with so many busy families because it is easy to whip up a sit down pasta dinner and make even a long, hard day as a kid seem special.
Ragu wants to hear from you and your Long Day of Childhood stories; check them out on Facebook and start sharing. Their newest campaign slogan is, “A long day of childhood calls for America’s favorite pasta sauce.” Of course as a kid those embarrassing moments that seem so mortifyingly end of the world epic while they are happening turn into hilarious “do you remember the time” fodder years later.
One long day of childhood of mine in particular stands out for me. I remember being a pom pom girl in 5th grade and falling in front of the ENTIRE school during a pep rally routine. How embarrassing!
Longest.
Day.
Ever.
And we won’t even talk about the sadistic 7th grade P.E. teacher I had who made us choreograph aerobic dance routines to perform in the gym in front of the school.
SHUDDER.
Here’s just one of the hilarious Ragu ads created for this campaign (poor kid!)

One of my long childhood days was when we took a 14 hour drive to visit relatives. I was bored and carsick
the long day of my childhood that stands out to me is the day i was bit by a dog. i was riding my bike through my neighborhood when a dog jumped the fence and bit me on the butt, it turned out to be a long day!
A long day of childhood I had was when I decided on a whim to try out for the poms team in 6th grade and then had to wait until the next night to find out if I made it. I had to babysit that night so I had to wait even longer. Thanks!

Thanks for the giveaway…my daughter, a 4th grader, became ill one day at school (i.e. she vomited), was coming down with a cold; I drove directly from work to pick her up & forgot to stop home to pick her up some clean clothes…it was a very long drive home with her !

My daughter tripped off the bus in front of the older boys. She got in the car and was crying out, “The big kids saw! The big kids saw!” when she tripped again. And all I could do was laugh! Long kid day and bad mommy moment!

Finding out my teacher was dating the teacher in the next room over in elementary school. It made my teacher real instead of just our teacher, lol

My long day was when I got stung by a wasp on my hand in school. I was supposed to have organ lessons that night but of course with my swollen hurting hand I couldn’t.

Mine would be the day I was locked out of the house because I forgot my key in the locker and I was a latch key kid and my mom didn’t come home for four hours.
