Toddler Squeezes Through The White House Fence

[marble falls]

5. Um ... as a child I had to be leashed. By the time I was eight, I had gotten stitches in my head ...

... seven times.

Once two nuns asked my mother why I was leashed like a dog. My mother said, "better a live dog than a dead duck, sister!"

At he Cleveland Zoo there were picnic benches on the ledges overlooking the zoo. My parents had tied me to the bench while they played cards with an uncle and aunt, after a while my mom realized I was nowhere to be seen. They followed the lead and found me over the ledge and hanging over the side enjoying the view.

My youngest could disappear in a blink of an eye.

Probably nothing wrong with the parents. The kid is a 'busy' kid and I understand it. Like Hillary Clinton wrote, "It takes a village to raise a child."
