Those are the stories from the “Good Old Days.” We could all use a few more stories like that.

Yeah, good old Joe in the hook and ladder! I was embarrassed to tears when he arrived, put his window down, and asked where the tree was with the kitten.

Mortified!! Re-mortified when it made the newspaper!

Thank you for your many happy, laughing faces, Simone! I'm glad you 'like' my post. It was funny, but it was embarrassing, too, being in the newspaper the way it was.

Great story, C.J. When my daughter was young, she got her head stuck in the frame of a lamp. My wife called the fire station and they rescued her. Thanks for sharing your story.
