My daughters talked me into going on Face book. I was friended by a guy I went to grade school with. He remembered a time in 4th grade health class when our teacher wrote on the blackboard for me to draw a diagram of the inside of the ear. His "E" looked more like a "C" so I drew the inside of a car complete with dash board and steering wheel. The whole class including the teacher got a good laugh on that one. How a guy I have not seen in fifty years could remember that I'll never know. Funny thing is I remember it too. :lol: :lol:

Well, Tomas, youngsters such as you should have no difficulty in remembering things from your youth. It's the elderly that experience that problem...on rare occasions. :mrgreen: :lol:

cool. I have a memory of being baby sat by some folks with not enough chairs for their children and myself. They sat me on an upended apple box. It looked like a mile to the floor.
