When I was young, I thought dogs were boys and cats were girls.
I thought that if I wasn’t at church on Sunday morning to sing with the Little Lambs Choir, then they wouldn’t sing without me.
I disliked mayonnaise, so I told people I was allergic.
I figured that since most people are allergic to two things, I’d need to choose another.
I picked turtles.
I refused to wear my hair in a ponytail because no one could center it perfectly in the back of my head. So it grew in long, big, black curls. I’m from Alabama. My Father used to say that he could tell where I’d been playing outside by what was in my hair.
My Mother told me that my dog went away on a ship.
I killed a snake when I was in Kindergarten – on our playground.
I used to pretend that I worked at McDonalds.
As a flower girl, I ruined my cousin’s wedding by trying to wake my sleeping brother the entire time. We’ve never been close.
Aw I like this, I can relate to a lot of this, it’s simple and really endearing
funny the things that make us who we are and what we draw from them. Thank you for sharing
This is such a sweet post. I will have to think long and hard to come up with some of the things I have done when I was young. And I don’t even know if I would be able to share all of it
Thanks for sharing yours!

What I’d like to know is, how did you ruin the wedding – but your brother sleeping didn’t? *grin*
Great list!

I kept trying to wake him up.
Thank you for sharing those memories.
I have never been a flower girl and I have never minded. I love this little piece, something very intimate about it

The entire piece was just a small gatherings of silly thoughts that once made sense through a child’s eyes. It’s still special to me. Thanks for reading it. Thanks to everyone who has read it.
What a wonderful piece. The odd musings of a child. Whimsical and delicious.

I love this! The voice is brilliantly simplistic yet poetic at the same time.

When I was younger I tried to solder the wings back onto a butterfly.
(Seriously; don’t ask!)
I liked the dreaminess of it. Very poetic
What everyone else said. I really loved the sweetness of it.
