    My daughter calls my mother Nanna. You should get her on side. She is a psycho.

    On topic - nearly burned the house down after deciding to do 'jimmy drops' with blue baler twine. In the dining room. On the carpet.

    Ran away from home after setting the bathroom door on fire (don't ask). No one was home so after putting out the fire and seeing the damage we left a note and ran away. For a few hours.

    Landed a axe into the top of my little sisters head when I was about 6 or 7. Not really sure how she survived that one. I actually didn't get in too much trouble. Everyone was just relieved that you couldn't see her brain. To this day she has two partings.

    There are plenty more......

    I always called my grandmother Nanny. My mum is 'Nanny' to her grandkids.

    She encouraged one set to call her Nanny because their mum was telling them to call her Granny and my mother reckoned it was because of snobbishness because for posh people Nanny was a job description and the grandmother was Grandmother.

    I've always thought Nanny to be a friendlier word. Nanny sounds warm and huggy, possibly with floury arms from baking you cakes. Granny sounds more formal and like a sour-faced biddy who'd jab you in the spine to make you stand up straight.

    It was Halloween. 1980s. I was a teenager and had stopped "mumming" (trick-or-treating) the previous year or so. I answered the door to several young "mummers" (trick-or-treaters)...they expected sweets, nuts, fruit or money....I gave them thick butter and jam sandwiches. All that butter and jam oozing all over their money, sweets etc...I still feel bad about it. The look on their little faces.
