re: #160 Shiplord Kirel, Friend of Moose and Squirrel

My daughters did that, the older one more than the younger, since my second wife was kind of a minimalist about make-up and didn’t have much for the munchkin to check out. They aren’t the only ones though. One time when I was about 5, I got curious about my dad’s shaving stuff. I carefully spread shaving cream on the edge of the sink, then “shaved” it off with his fancy razor. Being a fire marshal probably helped prepare my dad for fatherhood, since it got him used to dealing with people who had done dumb things. He carefully and sequentially explained why that was a bad idea, that it would ruin the blade and scratch his face. He was always very good at that and I think he would have been a great teacher. In a sense, he was.

As a Kid I wanted to play jet fighter pilot…so I found a bag with a nozzle in the basement that I used as an oxygen hose, and a thing that looked like a face mask with holes in it, which I strapped on with the hose connected.

Later learned I was using an enema bag and an athletic cup…
