I was thinking the other day about the kitchen stool my mother use to have, it had chrome legs, it was red plastic on top, and you could pull out two small steps inside, so as to climb up and reach into a kitchen cabinet that was up high. My Mom was only 5 foot, 10 inches tall, so she had trouble getting into almost all cabinets, unless she used the little stepping stool. When I would go to my mothers, my oldest son would sit on the stool, we would tie him in with a kitchen dish towel, and use it as a high chair. I do believe there was a crack in the red plastic, probably from being used so much. I think my mother gave it to me, but I don't remember where it went ???? Today I have a full day, better get at it !!! Sully, in Sunny California

I still have the one that was in my grandmother's kitchen. I loved that thing when I was a kid. I thought those steps that pulled out were the greatest thing. All the little kids sat on the steps to get their shoes tied.
