Some wicked kiddy!
Seriously his parents will have been worried sick over this. But one of the lore in the Swiss family concerns Wildy' s older brother. He was "son number two" ! He did not want another "soppy girl" - so when Jessika (Wildy' s cousin ) was born a couple of months earlier, this lad then aged about 5 years and with a now two year old sister - Krissi -

- escaped from his grandparents and made his way to "maternity" to "place his order for a little brother"

Meantime - the grandparents who were minding him whilst Wildy's parents were visiting a new born Jessika and her proud parents (and later Wildy's own parents) were beside themselves with worrry. Meantime Knut was being handed toffees and being made a fuss of by all the nurses in maternity who fell in love with this rogue. He later became a cardiologist - married to a midwife...
Me? I "helped the painters on the family home" by climbing up the ladder after them and "painting window sills"

Then I saw my Dad pruning roses and decided that chopping the flowers was "helpful"

My mum tells me that we had lots of flowers in every vase that year

I was about three at the time
I also informed my neighbour that I did not want a baby sister, Unfortunately Angela (Angelika is her on-line posting handle somewhere

) arrived. Each time my this neighbout appeared .. I arrived on my tricycle to protect Angela per my parents. They said it was uncanny - but that each time the neighbour appeared .. when Angela was outside in her pram.. I just rode up on my tricycle "as if to protect her
I do recall that trike. It was blue, BIG . and had a useful boot for "stuff" which only a 3 to 5 year oid lad from our era can fully understand here
Angela took it over later on. I moved on to some Raleigh two wheeler without stabilisers by then

She inherited my two wheeler when my parents bought me a "serious bike" when I passed cycling proficiency and made it into "grammar school"
We still have this old faithful trike .. we pass him around the famiy too.
A must for any three year old.

Yes .. I admit this child will have caused great worry here. But all is well that ends well and I think this child has "potential go get astuteness".

Not a waste of police time .. we do enjoy dealing with these positives after all.

It's part of the rich tapestry of human life after all

And as Ted (MM) said . forms family history/anecdotes and a colourful takle to pass down the generations as "family lore"

I admit it could have been "tragedy" - but I think a very bright three year old with a character developing here. I would advise his parents to keep a close eye and reign in.. as this kid is one bright dude.
You have to "lean on them" gently to keep them straight. I speak from experience of fathering some very inedependently minded young "rebels"
Muy kids are nice. law abiding / but to use Wildy''s term// they can be "sassy" and question authority all the same - which makes them "normal" .. but makes me turn inot my own parents .
