I always avoid looking in the mirror in the dark because I'm afraid my face is going to look like someone/something else (remember "bloody Mary"?) It never occurred to me that something could be BEHIND me!

Even that made me panicky! I don't like not knowing what's below!<br /><br />I only vaguely remember that basement. It had very steep wooden stairs, didn't it? I remember sprinting up the stairs of my Gramma Lillian's basement and hitting my shins a few times. Those old basements were so scary!Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-2938313573560258852014-03-21T14:47:32.798-04:002014-03-21T14:47:32.798-04:00Interesting.

I also share the concern regarding tripping and smashing my front teeth. I do believe we are related!<br /><br />Do you happen to remember going down into Grandma and Grandpa Jordan's basement? I remember going down there with Grandpa to get rootbeer and ice cream. I would hold his hand and rush to get back upstairs.
