"because I then proceeded to write and CARVE my name into everything" Yikes! Sounds like our oldest daughter. She was a one person furniture destruction unit - not to mentions walls and floors. Between her and our dog (he litterally chewed the leg off a table!) we were lucky to have any furnitre left in the house at all. Now I was known to write on funiture when I was small, but it was on the back of furniture - where no one would easily see it - and in chalk, which could be washed off. Emelie, on the other hand, perfered to use writing insturments like the tines of a fork. Your mother has our sympathy. :-) jon
