Autobiografia
Dzieciństwo
Moja wiedza o sobie z tamtych czasów pochodzi z opowieści rodzinnych. Jedno dziecko tylko dostarczało tematu, gadanie o tym dziecku wypełniało świat, zupełnie jakby nikt nie miał nic innego do roboty. Może i rzeczywiście stanowiłam podstawową rozrywkę, szczególnie że dość wcześnie zaczęłam objawiać charakter.Pierwszej wizyty w ogrodzie zoologicznym nie pamiętam, zostałam tam zaprowadzona, pokazano mi wszystko, przyprowadzono z powrotem, po czym zadano pytanie:- No i co tam było, w tym ogrodzie zoologicznym? Co widziałaś?Zastanowiłam się głęboko i po namyśle odparłam:- Pijawki...W wieku dwóch lat z pewnością nie robiłam sobie wyszukanych dowcipów. Musiały te pijawki tam się znajdować, aczkolwiek trzeba przyznać, że nigdy potem już mi w oko nie wpadły.
