So that wasn’t me being fooled. My story happened when I was a preschooler and scared of flying insects. My father told me not to worry, they are just looking for honey. Armed with that knowledge flying insects didn’t bother me until the day I was hanging on a clothesline pole that also housed a hornet’s nest. The hornet buzzed around me and I didn’t care, even when it landed on my forehead. It stung me stung between the eyes. It didn’t want honey.

When I was little, we were driving down the 401 and passed a Toyota plant. My dad pulled in, and to my delight, inside the factory was a little toy shop with electric train sets and loads of other fabulous toys.

Every time we drove down the highway after that, I begged to go to the Toyota plant. My parents thought I was nuts about cars until I reminded them about the toy shop in there.

To my deep dismay, they insisted it had been a dream.

I still can vividly recall the shop (30 odd years later)… I’m not entirely convinced it’s not true, though it does seem rather unlikely.

I was sure I had had a dream about getting up in the middle of the night & eating 1/2 a pan of fudge.
However after rounding up & grilling the usual suspects, it turns out it was not a dream after all !!!
My kids will never let me live it down
