I was looking at pictures since my mothers recent death on March 5th 2011. I spied a picture of the old refrigerator with the protruding handle. I remember being about five years old and being ear high to the handle on that old fridge. I was running past it and my ear caught the handle on the fridge.
Being in pain and feeling like my ear was torn off I cried for my mothers assistance. She had me get totally dressed and said my ear was falling off and get ready to go to the hospital. I was traumatized. It was a JOKE on her part. She thought it was funny.
This is the same mother whom wondered why she was not shown great affection.
