Lee--Your post reminded me of some of my childhood days. My mother had a great aunt that used to say 'Little old me.' I was only four or five at the time but I do remember thinking she was actually bigger than the refrigerator. She was a monster, she always wore dresses that draped to the floor so she looked like a great block of a woman that you could identify only because she had a head on top and arms sticking out. In the dresses she wore her legs didn't seem to move, she was like a great flesh island moving across the floor. I dreaded her more than any other relative. Every time she saw me I got a hug. My little five year old body was just disappeared, enfolded like a bit of food targeted by an amoeba. I know exactly how Jonah felt. Her saying 'Little old me' simply terrified me. My mother had relatives everywhere, her saying that meant there were some bigger ones around than her. I would get caught in crease and simply vanish. Druss
