Topics explored in this issue include: Rape whistles as Christmas gifts, falling up the stairs, and the unsanitary nature of bowling balls
A latchkey kid? The dangers must’ve been everywhere!
I'm beginning to think I'm lucky to have grown up as a free-range child during the '60s.
I love your parents. They must drive you crazy -- in a good way. These lines are so funny!
What better exemplifies the spirit of Christmas than a rape whistle?
“Don’t try it in here,” Dad said, “or the dog's ears will bleed.”
She was like the Usain Bolt of fire-preparedness.
“You’d probably tear all the tendons in your body just looking at a pair of ice skates,”
You come out the other end with your bangs blown back, and your eyebrows singed, wondering where you were going in the first place
That's so kind of you! Thank you!
They're the best! (When they read this they laughed and said, "That's funny--but you made us sound insane."
You will have to explain the concept of hyperbole in family stories. Unless... maybe, like my own family. they really are insane
The family fire ladder...I still remember when we got ours...what a rush of nostalgia. This was a fun read, thanks!
Thanks so much Bryan! Glad it resonated. Did you do in-home fire drills too?
Only in my mind. Which now seems weird.
