Bag over the head

One of my first memories was having my diaper changed by my mom on the changing table. She had taken my diaper off and (I'm assuming) needed to leave the room for a second to get another diaper.

She said (and I remember she always said this), "Don't put that plastic bag over your head when I'm gone—you won't be able to breathe," which made me very curious to find out why she would tell me that, so of course I wanted to try it.

In order to get to the plastic bag, which was around the end of the changing table, I had to do a sit-up type move, but baby style. I got the plastic bag in my hands and put it over my head to see if I could breathe. Of course you can breathe a few breaths, which is what I did.

Then I heard my mom returning to the room and quickly tried to put the bag back where it had been and get back to the position I had been in, because I knew she would be so mad if she caught me. This all happened before I could talk or walk.
