Tell us a funny story from your childhood: It wasn’t funny at the time but now is a source of entertainment to my family. When I was around five years old, we went on a family trip to the zoo and some of the animals like kangaroos were allowed to roam free. I, being the inquisitive five-year-old, thought it would be a good idea to approach the kangaroo. The kangaroo didn’t think so and before I knew it I found myself on the ground with the kangaroo ready to take another go at me.
