Childhood?

Sometimes I really miss my childhood. I have a lot of memories that I'm really glad to have.


One day while I was riding the school bus home after kindergarten, I looked at my arms, noting that they were white (as in caucasian), and I thought to myself, I'm glad I'm white and not black. LOL! And everyday after school, my brother Kelly (Patrick) and I would race each other to the front door so we could get on the NES before the other. We had The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II, Chrystallis, Bubble Bobble, Super Marios Bros. I and III, and a few others I can't recall. My mom played the Zelda and Mario games. She was really good at them. When Chris sold me his Zelda promotional disc that came with his GameCube when I was in 10th grade, I wanted her to play them, but she didn't want to. :-[

I also remember one of my earlier birthdays, I wanted a bike. I got one. It was purple and had a pretty white basket on it. I remember wishing it wasn't so girly, but whatever, a bike's a bike. AND I knew I was getting a bike for my birthday before it was my birthday because I saw the bike in the barn that we kids weren't allowed to go into.

And the first time I ever shoplifted, lol! I was so little. I took a pack of gum from the Town & Country grocery store.

One time, the back door was broken, and we were going to go to Debbie's house (my mom's friend), and my dad said we wouldn't leave until whoever broke it spoke up. No one did, and I wanted to go to Debbie's house because James (the boy I had a crush on in kindergarten, lol) lived next door. So.. I said I did it, even though I didn't. In fact, I didn't even know it was broken! So my dad asked me how I broke it. I said, "With a stick." Hah! A stick! How retarded. They must have believed me though, because I got a spanking. I totally did a favor for one of my brothers.... probably Patrick.
