I remember being in school, during recess, playing red rover or kickball....third grade wednesday spelling pre-tests, that if you got an A on, you were exempt from taking the real test on Friday, and you could sit in the activity corner and put puzzles together or read a book and gloat, especially if you were the only one there...a white unicorn pencil, never taking my milk during lunch, or getting chocolate milk and giving it to someone who wanted it...a red radio flyer that my brother and I used to steer down the driveway...I got so good at it that I could turn this perfect curve onto the street, thus avoiding cars or pedestrians (my mom never saw us do this, or she would have had a fit).
I remember when I was in school, I was used to be this very organized system, and now it's very uncontrolled and random.
