That is one ugly woman.

Inside and especially outside.

That brought a tear to my eye.

I'm telling you, those of us that grew up in the 70s are pretty tough.

My older brother convinced me to jump off a single story roof with an umbrella, telling me I could be Mary Poppins. The hedge broke my fall but nothing got between his butt and my Dad's belt, later on.

I can remember trying to run down the street with an umbrella in a wind and rain storm trying to get it to takeoff based on Mary Poppins too, but I didn't jump off a roof! Your brother had it coming.

My sister was 8 years older and brother was six years older. I think I was about 5 at the time so he would have been 11. Old enough to know better but my brother was daredevil* and I always wanted to impress him.

*Sadly, it was that daredevil instinct that killed him in a boating accident at age 35.

I was trying to find a calculator that shows needed canopy sizes. The smallest successful landed was 35 sq ft, by a guy that weighed less than 100 pounds. A three foot umbrella is about 7 square feet. Too bad you didn't do the calculations.

That has got to be the creepiest puppet I have ever seen

Jeff Dunham as a child?

At age 5? Look, I was a smart kid but I wasn't doing mathematical equations in kindergarten. But my brother claimed he did and I believed him.

We did that in Rudder near the theaters in the summer. No one in there. Gathered up cushions from the couches and jump from one floor down to the other. Fun stuff after getting tired of jumping at every stop on the elevator.

It was the 70's. That just how we rode, new army!

I was born in the 60s...why didn't I get a dummy?

You didn't just "get" a dummy, oh no. You had to make your own out of things you found while dumpster diving for discarded Playboys & aluminum beer cans. If you were lucky your old man had some parts in the garage that you could use and deny having taken when he couldn't find them.

Kid in my neighborhood tried to be Spiderman, not Mary Poppins. Broke his leg pretty bad when he couldn't stick to the wall outside the second story window. Once we saw that bone sticking out, we all hauled ass. It wasn't our fault, but we were not going to wait around for the kid to say we put him up to it (we didn't). And like someone else said, just being associated with some stunts got you a whipping, so we were gone. Selfish? Sure. But we weren't doctors.

I need to try this move.
