around the house

When my older brother Neil was 4, he saw a glass table for the first time ever! It was at a friend of my mother's house and he was confused. He asked his older brother, my eldest brother, Martin what it was because he had never seen one before. Well, Martin explained that it was A PORTAL TO ANOTHER DIMENSION. Being only 4, Neil believed it. While no one else was in the room, He jumped through the table !!!!!!!! He wasn't badly injured for the rest of his life but he did receive LOTS of stiches. The table did lead him to another dimension, a dimension of PAIN.


Even funnier though...Martin at thanksgiving 4 years ago(14 years after the incident)finally told my parents about "the portal" and why Neil had really jumped through the table!!!

When I was very young, I used to believe that when you went to the trash room (we lived in a high-rise apartment house) and the sign on the door said "REFUSE," it meant that the room was all full of trash and there wasn't space for any more.

Well, my mom asked me to take out the trash one day. When I returned to the apartment with the bag of trash still in my hand, she looked puzzled and asked me why I didn't put the trash out.

I took her with me to the trash room, pointed to the sign on the door, and said, "See? It says REFUSE. It's all full! It refuses to take any more!"

She then explained (after laughing hysterically) that the word "REFUSE" had two meanings -- and one of them meant trash!

Duuuuuuuhhhhhhh...

Did I mention that I'm now a professional writer/editor???

When my husband was little he used to believe,that a button for light-on was for calling a Fire Bigade. For many years he was walking up the stairs in complete darkness...After that "training" he wouldn't need to switch the light on even when he returned to his home after a year spent on studies.

I used to think that a record player would play music because a live band lived in the speakers. I would imagine Blondie & her bandmates at teeny tiny people playing & dancing around in the speakers of our record player. I just couldn't figure out how Blodie would leave & Tom Jones would step in without my noticing them!

I didn't understand that you bought a house where you wanted. I thought that when you wanted to buy a house, you would go looking for one. When you found one you liked, then you would trade houses with that family. When we moved, I thought that we traded houses with the other family and I asked them how they liked my old bedroom!

When I was little, my big sister told me that there were secret passages in the walls of the house. She said there was a secret entrance, and the passages went all over the house. She wouldn't tell me how to get in because I was too young. I would spend hours looking for the secret entrance, pressing my ear to the walls and knocking, looking for hallow spots. I never did find it. Hmmph.

Ya know when you're in your room at night and a car drives past your window, then you see the headlights on your wall? Well, until I was 9, I believed that whenever I saw those on my wall, it meant that I was up too late...

Before I was tall enough to see into the washer, I used to think that the close went into a bottomless pit where the fairies magically made them clean and then the washer star-wars style beamed them back up. Now that I think about it, I was a very strange child...

I went to a friend’s spa party, and while I was in their spa I was suddenly busting for a pee. We were playing "spa evictions" so I couldn't be stuffed getting out. I decided to do my wee in there and kept playing. My friend’s mum came out to check on us and some one said generally "Oh I really need to pee" and my friends mum said "No one do it in my spa because this chemical reacts to urine and make a dark blue substance come out onto your pants.” A few people turned red, but not as red as me. When every one else was calling it quits I stayed in and I think people suspected. Eventually I came out of the spa and to my surprise nothing happened to my boardies! My friend told me later her mum always says that coz she hates people peeing in the spa. I never pee in a spa again as long as I live. And also a warning to you all: DON’T STICK YOUR HEAD UNDER THE WATER IN A SPA!

I used to think that bobbie pins were actually called "Barbie Pins" and that they were made from old Barbie dolls that no one wanted anymore.

We have a table in the living room and my mom used to like to keep the legs on pieces of tape that were on the floor. I thought that if I moved the table off the tape, monkeys could jump out of all the drawers and eat me.
