And I don't think there is anyone who can't laugh at a few crazy childhood escapades that indeed were quite dangerous. Ouch—the hanging, a bicycle spoke in your head (!), and the tricycle accident. It's funny, my most harrowing childhood accidents were on a tricycle too! Lucky for us, your memory is quite amazing. Do you have any pictures of you in your cowboy outfit?Stickup Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028394186285973772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198275291385110185.post-15479187259316954002012-05-13T06:28:49.477-05:002012-05-13T06:28:49.477-05:00One of your best posts ever!!

One thing I find interesting is the way the personal journals of people over the years offer a unique perspective on the history of those times. <br /><br />You interwove so much about the culture and the politics of the time and simultaneously painted an intimate picture of your world during those times as a child. Simply awesome. <br /><br />I loved reading about the nature of your childhood play and it brought back my own recollections too. You captured the magical nature of children's minds and interactions, as well as features of personality development and the events that shape them. The tricycle accident, the hanging, the tale of the missing toy gun and its impact on your developing sense of conscience. Marvelous!<br /><br />I got such a kick out of all the radio, tv and film personalities you rattled off. Names I hadn't heard of in years. And I am so jealous you got to ride with Rod Cameron!!<br /><br />A great piece of writing, Dee. Keep it coming.mythopolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164758700393086005noreply@blogger.com
