When we were kids, we were not allowed in the living room, either. When
mother left to play bridge, have her hair done or go to a sorority
meeting, we invaded the living room like a plague of locusts. Not being
allowed in there, just drew us to it. We did hand stands and back flips,
but we never broke anything, except a beautiful hand-blown glass bowl
from France. We buried it in the back yard and swore each other to
secrecy. Mother has never asked about it.
