I had a great childhood - the single worst thing that happened to me was breaking my collarbone aged 5 falling onto the driveway from a car, and to be honest I don't remember it.
If there's a single failing in my childhood it's that it didn't teach me much about how to cope with stress and failure, but I'm glad I didn't have to learn those lessons until I was an adult.
All in all, I'm like Shannon - my childhood problems involved not getting a VCR until a year after some friends, and never going on a foreign sunshine summer holiday.
It was only as an adult that I realised that all my classmates were really jealous that my family went on winter ski-ing holidays...

Overhead, the Albatross hangs motionless upon the air,
And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
