Reply #58: studied/gave oral report on taxidermy (11yo/6th grade)

[sohndrsmith]

I was told after I gave my report that many of the boys (one of which I am not) were looking nauseous as heard the descriptions of the process.... (hee).

Not sure what is or is not unusual, but I have a few more that may or may not qualify:

I also:


-- shot a perfect bull's-eye with a .45 revolver (age 8). Inherited the weapon 3 yrs later (age 11), but wasn't given to me then, wisely. Target practice wasn't fun (or as safe) without Grandpa...

-- went to Easter Mass with my friend and her family, one of whom was mafia boss "Fat Tony" Salerno (age 11/12).

-- caught on fire - stood too close to the fireplace in my non-fire-retardant nightgown... screen wasn't up (age 13/14).


Okay I'll stop now. You only asked for one and I don't know if this is the sort of thing you are asking for. : )
EDITED: deleted one.
