SPOILER ALERT
If have not read Quiz #16. Dumb Kids (April Fools) just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.
Here’s the answer:
What did NOT happen?
A. I was a toddler when a hurricane hit Long Island. I was playing with my sisters, Ginny and Susan. They fed me baby aspirin and my mother had to drive me to the hospital in horrible weather. I was given medicine that tasted like Coke-a-cola. I vomited in a large metal bowl. I remember it looked like cream corn;
B. When my little brother Richard was born, I would feed his pacifiers to our dog Timmy without telling anyone. His stomach got blocked and he had to have emergency surgery (Timmy not Richard). Inside, they found 8 pacifiers, all whole;
C. When he was a toddler, I told Richard to chew on a piece of tin foil, telling him it was better than chewing gum;
D. As a kid, I was playing with a hand drill on our new kitchen table. I drilled a hole in a piece of wood but went too far, creating a tiny round divot on the wooden table. I cleaned up the tools and the sawdust, never fessing up to the crime even though my father was not pleased when he noticed the divot that night at dinner;
E. When my uncle had heart surgery, I was the first one to get home from school. My mother had gotten the call that he was out of surgery and OK. When my sister Ginny got home from school, I told her that my uncle had died.
I did not do this--but at the beginning of corona, I was on a call with a guy and we got to talking about our dogs. When I told him about Stella's knee surgery, he told me about how he had to get emergency surgery for his Golden who had eaten 11 of his toddler's pacifiers. They found them inside, whole.
