Even kids are feeling the pressure
A friend of mine collected her two year old son from nursery a couple of weeks ago to be greeted with the weariest sigh ever emitted by someone so small and the statement, 'oh mummy, I'm so tired, it's been a very stressful day. '

» My most gullible moment

Not me but....
Another B3tan.....still tell people this today and it still makes me cackle in an undignified fashion.

Someone posted here (I think in the lies your parents told you QOTW) that his family used to live somewhere exotic, India possibly and had a house trained monkey. They lived there for some time before he was born so family photo's often featured the afore mentioned monkey.....when old enough to comprehend such things he was told, the monkey was in fact him, as a small child ane looked like that until he was at least 5 or 6. Believed this until well into his teens apparently. :-)

Sorry to steal, but that was one of my fav answers ever. :-)

» Accidental animal cruelty

Kids are very literal creatures.
I have no recollection of this incident myself but my mum has always taken great pleasure in regaling this tale to visiting suitors.

One wet, week day morning, I must have been about 3, my mother was loading things into the tumble dryer when a sopping, bedraggled ball of fluff who we shall call Betty, for that was her name, came through the catflap. My mother said something along the lines of 'Oh poor Betty, she's all wet' and bustled off to make the beds (this I find very hard to believe as she has never made a bed in her life, far more likely to have sloped off to watch some banal daytime television...) leaving her 3 year old to glance between the sorry looking kitten and the amazing machine that you put wet things into which then miraculously come out dry. Yes, you can see where this is going.

It was only upon hearing an odd thunking noise coming from the tumble dryer that my mother ventured to investigate and rescue a very disgruntled, albeit drier, kitten.

She did live to tell the tale you'll be relieved to know but seemed to undergo a personalty transplant and was known forever more as Psycho Cat due to her pathalogical loathing of all human beings, oops.

» On the stage

Wrong week
I can post, woo, hoo, does a giddy dance of joy, wonders briefly why so easily pleased?

To be honest I had a great shameful confession for last week's topic but due to not being able to post for a week I missed the opportunity, damn, was looking forward to cleansing my soul.

Can't really think of anything stage related apart from an incident involving Keith Chegwin that I'm still too traumatised to speak of, I played Toto at school, that was pretty embarassing. I wanted to be Dorothy.
