I am a murderer.
My brother brought home a sick lamb from the farm he was working in when I was just four, unbeknownst to my parents he was trying to nurse it back to health & keep it as a pet. He told me to guard it with my life, that if my mom found it she would kill him.
I was just being a good sister, I loved the lamb, her name was fluffykins. I remember practically hyperventilating when I saw my mom approaching the garage with a load of laundry. I ran ahead of her, took the lamb from its box & put it in the first place I could think of...........
Hours later, (I had been plaing with Barbie so had long forgotten fluffykins) there was a scream from the garage.
My Mom had found poor fluffykins frozen to death in our freezer. I was devastated & still remember it to this day. How was I supposed to know? It still haunts me though. Nonetheless my family find it hilarious & the story is repeated & told with much animation at every family get together.

So what from ur childhood sticks with u til this day?

I can rember back when santy was Santy, I think i was 5, but anyhow on this christmas eve in question, I had been put to bed early.....
My parents had my aunts and uncles over and they chatted away to a lovely warm fire in the sitting room,

Thinking about what snaty would bring me and trying to figure out how he gets down the chemney and all that awe, It dawned on me, How will he get down it with the Fire roaring??????
Pooor santy,

So I went in to the sitting room, Poped out my lad, and put the fire out and ran back in to bed,

Thinking back??????

What innocents, But it was real, Happy Memmories

I found an injured Robin in my friends back garden so we decided to nurse it back to health. Being good little boys we went to the shop to get food for it. To our joy the was a picture of a Robin on one of the products. "This HAS to help " we assumed.
The poor Robin died after its feeding, turned out we have it starch for making clothes stiff (and Robins into a stiff too apparently)
