Plan thwarted

[TheOldestYoungMan]

IKEA's plan to eliminate our children one at a time has been foiled.

Better luck next time.

When I was 3 or 4 I spotted something on top of the chest of drawers that I wanted. Being a clever child, I pulled the bottom drawer way out, the next one not so far out, and the next one just out a little. So I had a nice set of stairs to climb.

My great grandmother heard the crash and came running, pulled the chest off me and got me out. Somewhere there's a cute picture of me with a big grin and two black eyes, plus a swollen, probably broken nose.

Grandma had to be at least 75 at the time. My parents were amazed at her strength.

I think I'll see if I can find that picture.

Nope, couldn't find it. It wasn't where it was supposed to be, so it might as well not exist.

My mom let me eat all the candy I wanted one Halloween, probably 3-4 years old. 2 am I pulled my dresser over on myself, climbing it. She never let me eat as much as I wanted again.

Of course, I spent 15 years spraining wrists and ankles to the point that at 30 all 4 joints inform me when it's going to rain.

Haha....  I think that happened in every household.  I went running into my litle brother's room after a loud crash, no sign of him, but the dressser was tipped over.  I figured, "What the hell did the cats do this time?"  That's when I heard a very meek, "...Help me?," come from underneath the dresser.  He was fine, more scared he'd get into trouble than anything else--it's still one of those funny family stories to tell at holidays.

Has anyone seen the movie "Food INC"? Even though meat companies are always stopped, there are always a few casualties.

R.I.P victims of food companies.
