ABC Time! Are you sitting comfortable?

K is for.....Kid stuff! In my alphabet spanning my auto-biography I find myself at K....Here are some random facts about me as a kid! 1. I went to Red Cross classes for many years. Part of the class was spent on bandaging and dressing of imaginary wounds. We each took turns as the patient. On one such occasion when it was my turn I asked Mrs Longstaff the leader if I could go home sporting the black eye and bruising make up as well as the sling which was supporting my right arm. She agreed. As was the norm, after Red Cross together with my pals we would go to the chip shop. When we entered Mrs Wall asked me what on earth had happened. I told her my Auntie Dot had hit me with the yard brush! How we laughed! However a few days later Mrs Wall bumped into Auntie Dot! Hmmmm the laughter soon stopped! 2. A few years later in biology class I had to collect the bulls eyeballs for disection, from the butchers, at the same time I had to buy sausages for Auntie Dot! I deliberately switched the packages. How I howled with laughter at the thought of it all.....again the laughter didn't last long! 3. I had my tonsils removed when I was 8. The nurse was an absolute dragon....so whilst she was making my bed I picked off a candle of blood which had trickled down my nose and flicked it into her hair! The pleasure of seeing it fly through the air and land in her bun was wonderful! The joy lasted for the whole shift! I could see the offending object in her hair everytime she passed! 4. At the age of 12 I was making mum's tea. I wanted to surprise her when she came in from work. The phone rang and when I had finished I was petrified to see the kitchen was on fire. Typical common chip pan fire. Polystirene tiles were all the fashion so when the pan caught fire the flames rose to the ceiling and the tiles quickly demolished the entire roof structure. When mum arrived home she was greeted by 2 fire engines. I left home for an hour! 5. When our neighbours emigrated to South Africa they gave me their upright piano. We didn't really have the room and mum wasn't keen. Anyhow she let me keep it and I tried to teach myself. Trouble was, Uncle Moss kept cadging some wire for his car so over the years more and more keys would not play. In the end it had to go! I hope you have enjoyed these 5 random facts about my childhood! It was a very interesting time. Looking back I honestly think I am pretty much the same now as when I was 8! LOL!
