I remember . . . I remember . . .

Heather (4) announcing solemnly, out of the blue: “Texas is closed.”

Erin (10) and Meg (8), when confronted with burnt matches in their bedroom window sill: “Meg did it.” “Erin did it.” I blamed Meg since she was always the scalawag, but found out decades later that it was Erin.
