Reply #85: I slipped through second floor

[TallahasseeGrannie]

stair railings and hung there 20 feet in the air when I was 3. I pulled a grandfather clock onto my head a few weeks later. I road my trike up to the forbidden "traffic circle" (to get a ten cent candy bar) with an older friend. She attempted to cross the street and was hit and killed. I rode my trike home and never let on to anyone I knew about it. During Hurricane Donna, which hit NJ very suddenly, we were sent home from school at noon. I walked home and climbed over the elm tree that had fallen in my yard. I didn't know (nor understand) that it had a live wire on it. I was passenger in a car (at 18) that drove over the Veranzano Bridge at 100 MPH and took down about 25 yellow cones while being chased by the police. They didn't follow us into NJ. Did I mention the driver was drunk? (and no, I never went out with him again!)

I won't go into the dumb stuff I've done as an adult.
