Jane remembers how when she was young her Uncle Mac and Aunt Martha would visit. Once her cousin Peggy was playing with Jane's new kittens, and perhaps Jane was a bit jealous since she told Peggy that the pig might eat her up if she played with the kittens (the kittens were in the pig's pen). Then a scream was heard and Aunt Martha threw up her arms. Jane remembers this because her Uncle Mac captured it all on film! He would show the incident at family get-togethers later. Uncle Mac came every year and would take the kids to the circus.
Jane also remembers an early nightmare in which the train came to get her, literally, it walked up the stairs to the door of their house!
