Stuart what is a Sticklebrick?

It's a lego type spin-off, in that it is a series of differently shaped blocks that have little spines in them that enables the blocks to fit together:

Oh we have those at the preschool but they call them something else I can't remember the name.. LOL

I also remember my first situational "joke". I was 4 I think, and my Mum had a friend who had a beaten up old beetle (VW) which she'd parked outside the front of the house. I recall looking out of the window and saying that there were some people outside who were going to take her car away. She dashed to the window and saw some dustmen......Not exactly Oscar Wilde, but hey, I was 4!

If it was California, then they were probably called "Mega Dyno Building Buster Death Blocks - new, from KTel" or something. []

Thankyou, kind sir! As I always say, if you can't laugh, then someones sown your lips together....

Well, I can see it in my children, so it's nice to see a sense of humour (if you'd call it that) developing, and it's great to think that in the future, we're going to have a right old laugh.

Being smaked by my mommy []

They tell me that I nearly drowned when I was three but I can't remember [][]

In one of my earliest memories, I was at a neighbours home, just outside the back door, and had been playing with some eels that the man I called 'Uncle Ben' had caught when fishing. They were in a bucket of water until Auntie Jane came alone, got them out of the bucket, wrapped them in newspaers and chopped their heads off so that she could cook them for Uncle Ben's tea. I recall being rather upset over that.

We moved from that house when I was two years old.

While still there, I can recall a large grey horse that pulled a coal delivery cart. His name was Jimmy, and he used to poke his head in through the front door. I seem to recall he could almost reach the sofa, and once tried to take a biscuit off me. The house was very small - a terraces cottage really and with a door right on the street.

I can also recall travelling on a bus and stroking a lady's fur coat. It was the same colour as our giner cat, Ginger! Still at that house, I recall making mud pies and being told off for getting dirty. There was a sand pit, but I always preferred playing in the 'black dirt'.  []

When we moved to the new house, there was an old man called Bill Cotton living next door and he used to call me over to the fence and lean over to give me fruit or sweets. One morning he called me and had a banana, and I can remember going towards him holding the skirt of my dress down, not because it was windy, but because I was being dressed when he called and my mother hadn't yet put my knickers on me!

12 months. Yep - that early. I am sitting on the floor, looking up towards my mother who is rocking back and forth and smiling at me. There is no sound though, Just a visual. She is sitting and - as I now understand - knitting something yellow. The colour stands out., as does the sunshine behind my mother through the window. My mother only knitted me one thing - a yellow jersey that I had outgrown by the time I was 18 months old !!!

I think we have some recollection of being born, I have sometimes had a dream of coming out of a flooded tunnel.
