An angel or a devil?
« on: July 01, 2018, 12:29:14 PM »
What were you like as child? I don't think I was that bad, although my late mother was always asking where she went wrong with me, until the day she died because I didn't do things her way. Anyone who didn't was a friend of Satan in her book.

However, there was a particularly naughty deed I performed when I was 12, although it does make me grin slightly when I remember it.

My father used to keep his condoms in his bedside table drawer, I had three younger sisters and I decided I wanted a brother. I found a darning needle and sabotaged several of his condoms in the hopes thereof. My parents never had another child. I have several theories about that one, but will leave it at that.

That's funny, you naughty thing. Condoms have spermicide in them so making tiny holes, though not wise, doesn't automatically result in a pregnancy. For all you know your parents may have used an additional spermicide.

When I was about seven a girl at my school's mother had a baby boy and we all cooed at the pram on picking up time. Later that day I told my parents I'd like a baby brother. They laughed and my dad something along the lines that he was more than happy with me and my sister, he never thought he'd have a family (he was widowed young before he met my mum) and he was more than delighted with us. My mum said you can't choose whether you have a baby brother or sister, you take what comes which I knew anyway. I was satisfied with that.

I was a good child but not goody-goody. A person with strong opinions from an early age & sense  that I had to follow my own instincts. Got me into a little bit of trouble at school from time to time if I was not prepared to do certain things but nothing major. I was given a lot of freedom as was my sister & we had confidence.

My confidence crashed in the summer after O levels, I was sixteen & my cousin died suddenly. She was a little less than two years older, awaiting A level results.  She was like an older sister, we did a lot together, were at the same school. Everything changed after that but that's another story.
