My sister and I once rode our sheep when we were much younger. Her idea. She wanted to see if they'd jump over one of the cobblestone walls with us on them. [ ... ] They walked around it instead--I think they were too tall and we were too heavy. She got mad at them for not doing it right, and I just remember being really relieved that they didn't jump. It would've been terrifying.
Another time, Dad gave the two of us whisky without telling Mom. We were... pretty young then too, actually. It might've been the same year as the sheep. She scolded him and us, but she let us finish our drinks, have dinner, and sent us to bed without dessert. She made our favorite, too... [ huff. ]
