When I was a kid

Saw this on steph's blog and thought it was neat.


-My mom took me on the bumper cars and forgot to strap me in. When someone bumped us, I flew out of the car face first. I now have a scar on the left side of my nose by my nostril.

-I had a crush on Christopher Reeve. Correction: I had a crush on Superman.

-I performed “Can’t Touch This” in my elementary school talent show.

-I wanted to be a vet more than anything in the world.

-While flying a kite in the park, I ran face first into an evergreen tree. I got covered in sap and had a huge welt on my forehead. (Starting to see a pattern here?)

-I barfed on my second grade teacher because it was my first day at a new school and I was nervous.

-I wished I could have blonde hair and blue eyes, just so I would look like everyone else.

-I was short stop on my school’s tee ball team. When we graduated to softball, the pitcher busted my lip with the ball the first time I went up to bat. I promptly quit the team and was deathly afraid to play again until several years later.

-I would bite my classmates when they picked on me.

-I never got to go trick or treating because my mother wouldn’t allow it.


Also, winter and I have started a new blog on which to post our stories and other miscellaneous work. You can check it out here. I have posted a short story called "strangers".
