Doing crazy things as a child...
I'm saying I had a normal childhood. Well, except for the time I caught my mothers rocking chair on fire! We were living in New York at the time so I must have been 4 or 5 years old.Both of my parents were smokers and I'm guessing the ash tray, matches and cigarettes were on the lamp table (yes, lamp table - one piece of furniture) next to the rocking chair.
I'm not sure if my grandfather used a garden hose to put the fire out or a bucket of water from the kitchen. Furniture back then was often stuffed with straw.
After a few hundred house fires, someone decided it was a bad idea to stuff chairs with straw.
Hey... what do I know about these things.
It could have been worse !!

Out of two chairs and a blanket.....it was the littlest things that pleased us back then
I remember my mother telling me that we had this mother cat who had had kittens and I had dunked one of the kittens in the toilet.
I must've been around 2 to 3 years old at the time.My mother wasn't very happy with me for doing so.
