walking
it's weird to think that there was a point in my life when i wasn't allowed to walk two blocks to the store by myself. and now i'm allowed to get on a plane to tokyo by myself with no one waiting for me on the other end.
although, i have to say, sometimes when i was two, i would sneak out of the yard when i could (we have a fence) and i'd walk a little ways up the side street that runs along the side of the yard. but one day i walked all the way down to where the street curves and my mom had noticed and she wasn't very happy so i didn't do it again.
in like 5th grade i was allowed to walk to the store with my friends without an adult. and then later i was allowed to walk there by myself. but my dad didn't let me walk home from school by myself until sixth grade. and i didn't really understand that because i lived closer to school than i did to the store.
