Misunderstanding
Several Home Truths listeners have owned up to their childhood misunderstandings.
"My first trip by train, I must have been about 5 or 6 at the time, was to Southend. I sat in the carriage and my mother who said, "Sit with your back to the engine - it'll make you sick." So I changed sides and spent the entire journey in fear that the people opposite me would vomit all over me."
Tony got into trouble over a tin of strawberries:
I didn't want to go to school one morning. So my mother said that if I went without any fuss, she'd make me a special tea. I said I'd like a tin of strawberries, but she said there weren't any. I knew there were so I went and got them and put the tin in the electric oven and went off to school. Then she was cooking lunch, turned the oven on and half an hour later, my dad came in to eat his lunch. The tin of strawberries exploded, took the door off the oven and took the back off the chair he was sitting on. And I got a spanking when I came home.
