Yesterday
Things were interesting yesterday.
I talked to My friend Bonnie, who was my best friend in High School for like...and hour or something while I was at the laundromat. It was nice to talk to someone who didn't HAVE to tell me about something thier LARP character did the other day, or how much XP they had.
We talked about the good old days when we got detentions for thing like being human road locks, and egyptian hyroglyphics. YES, I did just say that my friend and I were hyroglyphics once. :)
It was nice though, apparently a lot of people I used to know have changed a lot...in ways I didn't neccesarily expect. But I suppose time does that to people.
I also had a conversation with my husbacd about things that were really stupid or funny that we believed, did, or said when we were little kids. Here were a few of mine that came up that were particularly interesting:
1) Once when I asked my mom what was wrong, she explained that she was on her period. Well, being 5 and having no concept of what this was other than punctuation, I looked at her, dead serious and asked, "So does that mean that boys have exclaimation points and kids have question marks?"
2) I thought that if I could stare at the sun long enough that I would get super powers.
3) My husband and I both apparently thought that if we just concentrated on an object until we had headaches, that eventually we would be able to move it with our minds. The force was not with us.
4) I once put 15 "pet" frogs in one of those mini pet carriers thats barely large enough for one.
5)I once wrote Rudolph a letter instead of santa because I thought Santa was just a boring fat guy....but hey, who doesn't want to talk to a friggin deer with a glowing nose?I remember when I looked back on it I wondered how he wrote me a letter when he had hooves....but then my attention span kicked in and i promptly forgot...
Yeah.....I was a strange child....but looking back on it, we all have done some really silly things during childhood. To think that I will get to see my son through this silly stage....it will be awesome. Then when he's grown up and married, he can talk to his wife one night about the silly things he did and said when he was little, just like Kyle and I did.
