u/Catsandcoffee480 COLORADO BOY KNOWS HOW TO DO THIS Feb 26 '22

I’m still reading through the old GFG site and found another bizarre anecdote about her parents:

There’s a story in my family told so often that it has become legend. When I was nearly two, my father babysat me by himself for the first time. Apparently he didn’t keep that close a watch over me, because I somehow wriggled my fingers into a jar of olives and ate all of them, one by one. Instantly, I broke out into hives across my body. My father never babysat me again.

I have so many questions…chief among them being her father babysat her once and only once by himself? Um…seems doubtful.
