Of course I was a toddler. But I didn't really toddle around much
until I was about two. I was extremely pidgeon-toed. For a while I
wore shoes with a bar between them to straigten out my feet. At any
rate, there wasn't much of interest in the kitchen. And my mother would
have had the common sense to tell us no. If kids these days take that
as a challenge, well, that's a shame.
