Right here's a couple that I've been struggling with for a while:

Old man lives in a mansion with animals (possibly farm animals?). He has very specific timings for dunking biscuits in tea. Possibly the house burns down at the end. I suspect this is a kids story or one for young adults.

Second story:

Probably also a kids or young adults story. A mum and a dad take separate planes on the off chance the plane they are on crashes and their child is orphaned. As it happens both planes crash simultaneously and the kid becomes an orphan.

My apologies for the scant detail. Godspeed goons.

Ok so here goes one from the Mrs:

A little boy who's parents were concerned about aeroplane crashes to the extent they took separate flights to avoid leaving the boy an orphan. They took separate flights and lo and behold both crashed leaving the boy an orphan.

Read by my wife about 1997 but she recalls no other details I'm afraid.

Help me goons, you're my only hope.
