My mom used to call our house (when you were able to do that, remember?)while I was upstairs...she would change her voice and say she was Little Miss Muffet. I believed her. For weeks (or more?) she would call me pretending to be 'LMM'. I believed it was her and was excited to talk to her. I would always ask if she could come over to play with me...but she never could! For some reason, in my mind, I pictured her as this cartoon character-looking kid, not human. I thought that's how she really looked! I was crushed when I realized it was my MOM playing a trick on me! :o)
