What is your most bizarre childhood memory? When I was about five years old I was obsessed with leprechauns. I wanted to catch one and shake him down for his pot of gold. I even dug a rather large tiger trap in the back yard and got into big trouble with my mother, but that’s another story. Anyway, this obsession was apparently known to many and one day a “leprechaun” called me on the phone. A grown man faking an Irish accent called our house and asked for me by name. Me and this leprechaun spoke for several minutes while my parents, worried that some pervert was stalking their son, watched and listened with nervous apprehension. For years we never knew who the “leprechaun” was. Finally, a friend of my parents (who I didn’t know) confessed.
