Thank you Paula! You are soooo right! At the moment it was pretty embarrassing but a few minutes later all of us got the giggles! Not my finest moment! All the best!

Thank you Eve. Had fun remembering some high school pranks! My group of friends was usually pretty well behaved, BUT occasionally we cut loose! Hope all is well with you!

Have turned in my high flyer acrobat wings! Fortunately the short moment of embarrassment turned into giggles leading to other moments of high jinxes! Thank you for your congratulations. Movin' and groovin"

Ouch! Hope that was a long time ago! I'm just glad the banister was metal. Splinters could have been a painful reminder of a rash decision! Carol thank you for sharing your story and for your congratulations! All the best!

Sam, Oh my gosh! Your seventeen syllables of memory brought a laugh! I would pay to rewind time to get a look at your face that moment.! Adorable....!

Nowadays my friends would have taken a cell phone picture! I, too, would have loved to have seen that expression both from me and from my principal! Writing this made me smile - glad to share that smile! Thank you Sigrid! Banisters forever!

Thank you Anne-Lise! Embarrassment was soon replaced by giggles. You know how high school girls are! Most of my friends didn't think I would take the chance. Ha! Fooled them - high school pranks! All the best!

Said farewell to my days as a high flying banister acrobat but armed with other ideas for high jinxes! All the best from a former high flyer!
