You put me right in the action with this chapter. The children are a well developed couple of risk-takers. The bathroom scene was fun. Meeting in the closet was sweet and intimate. Thanks for such a refreshing story. We need a little literary respite in these dark times.

Thank you for your delightful review. If want to glance at the previous chapters, feel free with no need for a review. Just enjoy.

Wow, you and your siblings never seemed to be short of imaginative play activities. And how great that was! Never having electronics or toys placed in front of you but, instead, having to create your own entertainment and adventure. A lovely, heart-warming chapter, Liz! No wonder your posts always ooze that same imagination and depth of thinking. Thanks for sharing Debbie

This sounds like a happy childhood. Fighting with your siblings. The whole locked bathroom seemed a little torturous for the one locked out. I do not see any need for improvement. Have a blessed day.

It sounds like the three of you had wonderful times together. I would have loved having siblings once I got past my jealousy that comes along with being an only child. I thought i wanted siblings but even anyone in the family over some child other than me the green-eyed monster showed her fact. I enjoyed reading this.

Thank you for your involved review. Sadly, my sister came into this lifetime with a chip on her shoulder against me, probably from some past life stuff. She was 5 years younger and was our father's mascot. We never in our 71 years had a decent experience. We make nice on facebook every few months at my initiation. I forget I have a sister but have many who are like a sister. I guess we make our own family. My brother got hit by a car on his bike when he was 40, so for 35 years, I've had a stranger for my brother. We are as close as we can be, all things considered. He calls me about 7 times a day. I do not answer the call many times. Thank you for sharing your wishes.

You have a good recall. The changing of font size and spacing is confusing and gave me a headache. I have been sleeping like you wouldn't believe lately. I had been on a very prolific streak for a while, but it is hibernation time. Good writing. Karen

Thank you for your review. I've also been sleeping a little better, 3 hours at a time and sometimes 4 which is a treat. I'm glad you are getting respite.

This was a cute remembrance of childhood days. But I really feared for your brother being locked out of the bathroom. What if he got a kidney infection? Man, you were one tough cookie to keep roughhousing and ripping those stitches!
Suggestions:
he got a stigmatism (astigmatism ?)
No Annie Oakly for me, (Oakley for me; - a semicolon would be better since this is followed by a full sentence.)

You and your brother got along better than me and my sister. We've only become friends since our mother died twenty-five years ago. I hope you have been friends as adults. I am surprised you two both lived to grow up as you seemed to take a lot of chances.

Thank you for your involved review. It is a wonder we are both alive. He did almost die in a bicycle accident when he was a week short of 40, where he also got head injured. I will be telling more about this later on. My sister & I still don't get along.

That was definitely a great continuation chapter, Liz. You felt safe because it was were you could feel safe. I am surprised that little Nicky was the cause of all your injuries, including the great bathroom escapade. The creation of all of your activities were the downfall of those activities. The treats. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessings n Hugs!!!

This does sound like you had a pretty normal and safe childhood. All children should have this type of childhood. I fear today's children are missing out on so much honest play that they will suffer from it. Thank you for sharing this with us.
