April 11, 1954. I was a few months shy of four and since it was a Sunday, my mother likely dressed me up like a doll to show off to some relative we were visiting. My father was ignoring me, unless I became overly exited, then told me to sit down and sit still. My mother was in agreement, afraid I'd tear my dress pants or lose my bowtie. But I showed them; I peed my pants. It wasn't uneventful at all.

I wonder if that non-boring Sunday was the future inspiration for Chuckie

Have beem thinking hard about April 11and nothing comes to mind. Although there is a good chance it was an Easter Sunday and we hunted for Easter eggs. Might have been the day the Easter Bunny hid my basked in a cupboard over a heat register and all the chocolate melted into the nest material.
