When I was an infantmy aunt looked after me durring the day and took care of my great grandfather, who was quite elderly. We were always together in the same room (and probably the same bed) until he was taken to the hospital. He died before my first birthday, and I have no memories of him alive. I dont remember this happening, but I've heard it. When I was five or so, my grandmother was using and old iron that made a splattery, hissing sort of noise. I made a 'ptt ptt' sort of noise back at it, and she dropped the iron. I told her the man did it, so I did it too. Apparenty it was something my great grandfather did.
