I used to live in this huge house when I was a child. There were many other family members living in the same house with us including my grandmother, grandfather, my aunt and uncle and their children who were my cousins. It was still before my parents were able to afford their first house. The house was very crowded and my family and I had rater limited space for us, but I have many fond memories from that particular place where I used to live and reside in the past. One of those fond memories is a memory from the time when I used to play with the stairlift we had in our home and have fun with it.

I still remember the day when I discovered how much I liked to play with the stairlift. I would sit down on it at the bottom of the stairs and push the button allowing the lift to take me upstairs. My siblings as well as my cousins decided to join in and partake in the experience the moment they noticed how much fun I had the way. This was when problems started occurring. When you have so many children wanting to do something fun and you only have one stairlift, problems start to happen. It was obvious that everybody wanted to be on the stairlift and since we were just kids, we were unable to find the solution allowing us to avoid quarreling who should go first. Fortunately for us, my father stepped in and he decided who was allowed on the stairlift and at what times. Unfortunately for us, he was also the one who decided to ruin the fun and limit the amount of time we were allowed to spend participating in the activity. Now, I of course understand why he had to do it, but I still remember how disappointed I was when my time on the stairlift was limited to a few minutes per day only. Sometimes I would sneak to be on the stairlift, but my father would catch me immediately since the stairlift was rather noisy.
