When I was 4 years old my mom had my dad take me to get my haircut before our family went on vacation. I went in with hair down to my waist and came out with a pixie. Everyone thought I was a boy and my mom completely flipped out when she saw me.

I have a fear of elephants thanks to a big iron swing at our local park. When I was five, I ran behind the elephant while my little brother was swinging. It knocked me out and broke my collar bone. I refuse to go to a circus or any other event with live elephants- LOL!

When I was about 6 years old, some pranksters set our entire tree lawn on fire the night before leaf pick-up. My brother watched all the fire truck action through the front window...and I slept through it all!

Prior to entering graduate school to be a school counselor I took a civil service test to become a firefighter. I passed all three parts of the process which included the academic tests, the physical tests, and the formal interview. I was placed on the hiring list, but decided on graduate school instead.

As a child I was on the Big Chuck and Little John show with Girl Scouts!  It was for the Halloween airing of "Fall of the House of Usher" (which I still have never seen) and I was dressed up as Princess Jasmine in her wedding dress from Aladdin: Return of Jafar...and, since I was dressed as a bride, my mom asked Little John to marry me!

I had a horrible allergic reaction as a kid after eating a shrimp stir fry. My throat started closing up and I had to get medication through an IV for a few hours. I had to go through multiple tests to try to figure out what I was allergic to, but they all came out inconclusive... Still no idea what caused it.
