Many of the Residents at Stapeley In Germantown found parenthood to be an important part of their lives. Even though some schools of thought on parenting may have changed since they raised their children (some nearly 70 years ago!), one thing has remained the same; sometimes kids are so slick that parents are none the wiser about what they are up to until long after their mischievous plan has ended. For instance:
- One Stapeley Hall Resident heard years later about her two sons trying their hand at nesting and hatching praying mantises in their room! Every night, the two boys would sleep with the window open in their room until the thousands of praying mantises were able to make their way out of the bedroom and into the great outdoors.
