raced caterpillars up the side of my grandparents' house
carried a two liter soda around like a baby bottle
pretended a dolphin from Nichols Pools was my boyfriend
walked five blocks to the beach with no shoes
wrote my first piece of fiction about a traveling pen (I still have it)
preferred picking daisies on the soccer field over actually playing soccer
dreaded field day
shopped at Makro, Caldor, and Bradlees with the ladies of my family, and on Mill Street in Bristol too
shopped at Makro, Caldor, and Bradlees with the ladies of my family, and on Mill Street in Bristol too
felt out of my element in art and music classes
wore high top Reeboks in every color of the rainbow
worried daily about getting kidnapped, specifically by someone with chloroform and a van as my mom always told me those people were out there
was rarely silly and usually serious
rocked a Pete Rose haircut
rocked a Pete Rose haircut
got lifted over the fence or took the path to my best friend's house
said I wanted to be a teacher automatically but really never thought about what I wanted to do
read everything I could get my hands on
hated to cry in front of people
loved swinging on the swings
Care to share some childhood tidbits?
