Borrowed from"snowgrouse
1. Post a silly / interesting / cracktastic thought you had as a kid about how the world worked.
That thunder was some of the angels playing bowls and that lightening was the rest enjoying a fireworks display. It had to be true my Gampie had sat me on his knee and told me that when I cried during a bad storm. The fireworks display was more believable back then, thanks to heavy industry our air was so polluted it glowed different colours when super heated by the lightening.

2. Name the most beloved childhood item that is still with you today.

I have my Teddy which was bought for my first Christmas, Rag Doll bought the next Christmas two china dolls well played with and my little blue knitted doggy who slept in the same bed as me right up until I went to college though I did stop cuddling to go sleep at about 14.Though he still gets an occasional cuddle even now.


3. Beyond childhood--who were you in a past life (whether you believe in it or not)? Let your flist decide.

I'm game be as daft as you like.

That knitted dog lasted well!

OK, you were a bluestocking intellectual at the beginning of last century, and one of the first women to get a degree. You wanted to practise law, but found it hard to get clients due to prejudice, so you went into parliament where you matched wits with Winston Churchill.

When he was being actively cuddled he was knitted a new skin every time a hole appeared, He's about 2-3 in larger all round than he was when I was given him, about the same time as I got Teddy and was small enough for a very young baby to to hold. He has layers of colours, the last one is blue.

Yes I can see my self as a woman MP back in the days when we first got the vote. Churchill probably won.

I think he usually did.

So the dog wasn't always blue throughout your childhood? He must have changed shape considerably too; have his legs got stubbier?

I honestly can't remember, I can only see three colours on him now( there are tiny holes) Blue, brown and white but I know he was recovered far more often than three times. I think Mam or Gran used to un pick the layers when he started to get too short and fat.

And yes Churchill usually won. He had many faults but boy that man could really think on his feet.

The Queen of the Solomon Islands :) I'm sure you'd make a wonderful missionary stew, too...
