| 590346 | 2007-09-13 19:15:00 | No idea, But what I know does scare my son is the plug hole in the bath, He thinks he will get sucked into it. Quite funny to yank the plug when he isn't expecting it, he pretty much leaps into the air to land standing beside me. Tonight as an experiment after once again telling him he was too big to get sucked into the plug hole I showed him by sticking my fingers in the plug hole, Then I yelled out that my hand was stuck and I was getting sucked down the plug hole. Muhahahahaha, Poor little chap went right off his tree.ROTFL... you really are an evil bugger :p For me.... large spiders and weta's My daughter (same age as Metlas son) loves having a bath and doesn't mind the sink hole. She does however freak at the sound of boyracer's cars, loud motorbikes, and lightning (she knows soon after the lightning comes the thunder). |

We (my brothers and sisters, and lots of them as well) were standing around the coal range warming up (winter) and Dad walked past the open window, heard us discussing this crim, and he promptly popped his stockinged head through he window with and shouted "This is so-and-so (the name of the crim)". I promptly lost control of my bladder (only 5 yrs old I think) and kept being afraid of escaped crims until I went to Uni. I even kept snakes and spiders as pets (I had about 12 cages for snakes and about 10 for spiders (big spiders like the Baboon spider) - had a glorious time in High School, taking my tame non-poisonous snake or my tame Baboon spider with me and showing it to the ladies as it walked or slithered everywhere. Great fun. Of course the backside got it, but it was worth it. sarel |

| 590350 | 2007-09-14 00:14:00 | We are renovating our ensuite bathroom and my brother in law has changed a lot of wiring round for me (Old retired sparky). He has had to chop the walls to run some wires and left it to me to patch up the mess. Hadn't got a round to it when 5yr old grandaughter came for her usual Friday night stay. She likes to use our ensuite as it has carpet on the floor and is nice and warm. I made the mistake of telling her the holes were "Mouseholes" and they might pop their head out when she was using the loo. Well, since that comment by her silly old Grandad, she has been terrified and wouldn't even come as usual and hop into bed with us on Saturday morning. Needles to say, Mrs Kenj gave me a bollocking and as SWMBO ordered, I repaired and stopped up the holes. Peace at last! Ken |

| 590351 | 2007-09-14 01:51:00 | My much older cousin put me in the tall wooden grain hopper on the farm (the kind with high walls tapering into a four sided chute with a 5 or 6 inch hole at the bottom, with a grain grinder in the hole. He then started up the grinder, and the wheat all started cascading down into the grinder - the hopper walls were all polished and slippery from years of grain sliding down into the hole at the bottom. Of course I couldn't get out - the grain kept slipping away, and I couldn't get a purchase on the chute or walls. That was a bowel churner that inhabited my bad dreams for years. It was over 50 years ago and I still vividly recall the sense of panic. He also put me on the back of a steer which bucked me off onto a set of harrows, and on another occasion chased me with the bloody knife he was using to slaughter a sheep. Blood everywhere... I think it all had to do with educating the townie cousin who had come to live with them. |
