Character/Author Study

Hello all,
I am enjoying reading the 26 Fairmount Avenue series with you! Tomie was such a character when he was a little boy. One of the funniest events we read about so far was when him and Nana Upstairs both made a mess in their pants from the laxatives. The first time I read that I laughed out loud. I know you all liked that part too because you laughed when you heard it. What are some of the other things Tomie told us about his life that you thought were funny, or that you enjoyed reading about?
