so elementary...
"JUST FIVE MORE MINUTES."
"OK. OK. AFTER WHILE CROCODILE."
"AMY WOODY WOOD PECKERS ON."
"COME ON MATT, WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE."
"IM GOING TO FAKE A FEVER TODAY, IM NOT IN THE MOOD."
"YOULL EVENTUALLY GET CAUGHT PUTTING YOUR FACE IN THE FIREPLACE."
"YEAH.YEAH."
BAGGY T-SHIRT AND THOSE LAME STRATCHY PANTS WITH THE ELASTIC UNDER THE HEAL.
I COMB MY PIXIE HAIRCUT. MAKE MY LUNCH. HEAD OUT.
"BYE MOM."
DOWN THE STAIRS. THROUGH THE HALL. CROSS THE STREET. VENTURE THROUGH THISTLE.
THE DOG AT THE CORNER ALWAYS MADE ME JUMP. THE SIZE OF A CAT...PLUS I KNEW IT WAS COMING.
ALWAYS MADE ME JUMP.
STILL DONT KNOW HOW THAT PEICE OF WOOD GOT ONTO THAT WIRE.
KEEP ON.
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE I HAD MY GROWING PAINS.
MISS KAISER ALWAYS ASKED WHY ID LET MY BLISTERS GET SO BAD.
I JUST COULDNT STAY AWAY FROM THOSE MONKEY BARS.
NEVER BRAVE ENOUGH TO DO THE COOL TRICKS.
I WISH THAT I HAD TAKEN THE CHANCE.
CHERRIE PICKERS ARE INSANE.
TIME FOR CLASS.
I WONDER WHERE I WOULD HAVE GONE HAD I KNOWN HOW TO SPELL 'RYTHM' WHEN SPELLING BEE TRYOUTS CAME.
ITS FUNNY HOW I JUST KNOW THAT HAD SOMETHING THAT SIMPLE HAD BEEN DIFERENT...
THINGS COULD BE NOW AS WELL.
"HEY GUYS, MY DADS COMING AT LUNCH TIME."
HE WAS ALWAYS SO GOOD AT FOUR SQUARE.
I DONT THINK THAT I EVER REALLY QUESTIONED WHY MY MOM DIDNT CARE AS MUCH.
UNHAPPY I GUESS.
BACK TO CLASS.
I GOT 100% ON ALL OF MY SPELLING TESTS THIS WEEK.
CORTINAS PIZZA ON FRIDAY.
THE SCHOOL BELL RINGS.
REPEAT MORNING TRAVEL, JUST IN REVEARSE.
HOMEWORK. DINNER. SIMPSONS. BED. DREAMS OF THE MASHED POTATO PEOPLE.
"JUST FIVE MORE MINUTES."
"OK OK. AFTER WHILE CROCODILE."
"AMY WOODY WOOD PECKERS ON."
I OPTED FOR SUCCESS AT THIS POINT.
CERTAIN FOR A PLEASANT TOMORROW.
COULD TODAY BE MY PLEASANT TOMORROW?
MAYBE.
HAD I JUST KNOWN HOW TO SPELL 'RYTHM' WHEN THE SPELLING BEE TRYOUTS CAME.
I WISHED UPON THE LEAVES OF THE TREE THAT SERVED THE PURPOSE OF 'SAFE' WHEN PLAYING TAG.
NOT AS MUCH FUN WHEN THERE ARE ONLY 2 OF YOU. DUMB KIDS.
COUNT TO 30. MY TURN TO SWING.
THESE DAYS ARE GONE.
I HATE THAT I CANT REMEMBER THE WISHES THAT I MADE UPON THE LEAVES THAT FELL FROM THE TREE THAT SERVED AS 'SAFE' WHEN PLAYING TAG.
STILL ASKING FOR THAT "FIVE MORE MINUTES."
JUST NO MORE, "AFTER WHILE CROCODILE."
I DO KNOW THAT WHEREVER MATT IS, HE IS STILL FAKING THAT FEVER.
ID GO BACK IF I COULD.
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THIS TIME OF GROWING PAINS IS THE ONLY TIME THAT I WOULD DO EXACTLY THE SAME EVEN IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO CHANGE IT.
NOW, IF I WERE TO GO BACK TO OTHER TIMES OF PAIN
MY MINDSET WOULD DIFFER.
I VISIT THIS PLACE AND WAVES OF SERENITY FLOW THROUGH.
ILL BE PREPARED FOR THE NEXT TIME IM PUT ON THE SPOT TO SPELL 'RYTHM'
ITS WHAT YOU DO TODAY THAT MAKES TOMORROW.
ITS WHAT I DID THEN THAT MADE TODAY.
