What unhinged thing did you do as a kid that went down in history in your family?

0:06.0

As a toddler, every time I got into an area that would echo even the slightest little bit,

0:11.0

like hotels or large restaurants or malls, I would moo at the top of my lungs.

0:17.0

I earned the unflattering nickname Meggy Moomoo. As a toddler, I never crawled like other kids.

0:24.9

I just kind of rolled around. I'd lay down on my stomach and just roll, man. When I was three or four,

0:31.9

my dad and I were in a barbershop. An elderly friend, a friend of the family, was waiting for a haircut,

0:37.4

and he and I were talking.

0:38.7

I think I was sitting in his lamp. He had a big nose with a wart on it. I suddenly said,

man just laughed and said, I guess I do, don't I? I was at the pharmacy when my oldest, who was three at the time,

Back during the great cyanide in Tylenol scare back in 1982, my older brother took me trick-or-treating on Halloween.

1:26.3

It went something like this. I shouted, trick-or-treating on Halloween. It went something like this. I shouted,

1:29.1

Trick-or-treat! The neighbor gave me candy, and my brother tried to remind me to thank him. Now, what do you say?

1:35.9

And I said, it better not have any cyanide in it. When I was three, I woke up early Christmas morning

1:41.9

and opened all of the gifts under the tree. My parents

1:45.1

kind of had to guess who got what because they were all jumbled together. At around three years

1:51.0

old, I got curious about my dog's food, so I sat myself down in front of her food bowl and just
