- Explains a lot. I can't believe Floo's so 'sheltered'.
Sheltered, that is hilarious. Growing up after the war in an island, which had been occupied by the Germans, it was hardly sheltered. Times without number I have nearly lost my life due to getting myself into a very dangerous situations, or having them imposed on me. Like when I was two and my crazy young uncles, who were supposed to be babysitting me, decided to take me with them when they were going to do a very stupid and dangerous diving stunt!
They had me sitting on a rock at the top of a steep cliff, from where dived into the sea below. They told me not to move from the rock as I would have undoubtedly have joined them! My mother would have skinned them alive if she had known, saying, "What would people think if she had been killed." One of my mother's major concerns was what people were thinking!
