Come! You've got to see! Give me a quarter and I'll let you see something you've never seen in your life! I was giggling at the vision I had in my mind. It was so funny ... I began laughing, couldn't stop. I could see my mother, and step-father sleeping on top of the cover in the bed ... naked! It was daytime ... I could see them ... good! I tiptoed over to the bed ... with both hands over my mouth ... my mouth fell open! I had to tell somebody! They never-ever knew I saw them that day ... nor did they know about the little audience who came ... to visit! I was about 5-6 years old. I had walked by the bedroom door to the bathroom ... it was opened several inches ... my eyes saw them laying there! I ran up Elm Street to my friends' house. You've got to come see! You won't believe it! They were doubtful ... they were convinced by my uncontrollable laughter. They knew something was making me laugh ... very hard. I made 50 cents that day! The little girls followed me back down Elm Street to my home. We opened the screen door very quietly, tiptoed down the shiny, wooden floor by mine, and my brother's bedroom ... he was still asleep. I was supposed to be napping ... but, not! I had both hands over my mouth so, I wouldn't make a sound! I led them to the partially opened door! Rhonda peeked in, first. I watched her eyes grow big ... Connie pushed her to the side ... let me see! Both friends put their hands over their mouth to keep from making a sound! Their eyes were huge! Their shoulders were shaking with laughter! All 3 of us ran out the door! We let it slam! I don't think it woke my parents. We fell on the ground, laughing ... rolling around. That was the funniest thing we'd ever seen ... and you know what we were laughing at! My step-dad, of course! We'd never seen anything like ... that! Give me a quarter ... and I'll let you see!

It's strange ... I still feel my cheeks get hot ... today! not only that ... I become aware of this 'stupid' grin on my face! That was funny! I know I sound awful, I'm really not! :)

I was naughty, but ... not in a bad way. I remember lots of laughter at that young age ... it soon went away at the age of 9 when my life changed ... then on ... lots of tears.

@GrannyGee You certainly were. I'm also certain you never told your mom about that episode.

I don't know that I was exactly incorrigible ... just a little girl who was interested in everything.
