Mushroom Memory
For some reason today I had occasion to tell someone about the giant mushroom that grew in what must have been the crawl space of the house in District Heights. Does anyone else remember the thing? I seem to remember you would walk down the steps to the basement, and there was a little door to the crawl space that you could open, and there it was. To me the thing always seemed large enough to sit on. What do you say, Harrises. Is this some imaginary thing on my part, or was it real? If so, just how big do you suppose it was? Maybe it was peyote.

Dad says you must have been on peyote when you saw this mushroom. He has no recollection of it. Was this in Suitland? We were puzzled by the reference to District Heights. I'm anxious to see if anyone else remembers it.
My initial thought was Fairfax, but then I thought maybe that was wrong. Did we ever live in Suitland? I only remember Fairfax, Chevy Chase, District Heights, Forestville, and then Annandale.
Obviously that was me, Steven, not Dara commenting. I suppose I always thought the house we lived in (and had all our broken bone adventures in) was in District Heights.
Was there a hookah smoking caterpiller sitting on that mushroom?
I guess I only have Keith to support me on this little known oddity of the odd Harrises. He seems to have disappeared from the blog. Last time that happened he was having computer problems.
Then again, given the abuse I have taken on this topic so far, Keith may choose to poke fun at me rather than fess up :-).
