Old memories, brought on by a discussion elselist...

Mama and FatherSir had me in sturdy overalls, with the effect that they could very handily use the back as a handle.

Imagine the fury of a three-year-old attempting to rampage free and wild right in the way of father turning over the (at that point unfenced) garden, who is instead pinned in one place by the simple expedient of slipping the back of the overalls over one of the stakes laid out for the future fence. I think I'd been trying to run out into the road, as well as stomp on everything.

LOL. That reminds me of a time when my ex-husband got me really ticked off at him for something. Breathing fire, I was trying to get right up into his face to yell at him, and he held me off my the simple expedient of putting his hand on my forehead and holding me off with his extended arm (me swinging futilely in the air at him all the while). Even I have to admit that was funny.

Oh, dear! How very amusing!

Talk about a CHILDISH argument. LOL
Me trying my best to get a good swing in, and him just standing there with one hand on my forehead, examining the nails on his other hand, like it was a cartoon or something. I think finally I had to quit fighting, because I was laughing too hard!

This sounds like our cats! Sammy (the monster in this icon) has always done that to every smaller cat that comes into the house. :D Much with the funny!

Add to that the fact that I am just under 5', and he is 5'6". I felt like I should have been wearing pigtails and Osh Kosh overalls!
