Day 15 - Your childhood
my childhood was spent in a small town in Minnesota.

i was born there and spent the first 12 years of my life there. my life started in the back of a sixties model Ford on a cold January morning. yup. i was born in the backseat of the car on the way to the hospital. it should have been a sign to my parents just what kind of child they'd brought into the world.

i was daddy's girl, the baby of the three of us. i was spoiled rotten. i don't think i could do any wrong in my dad's eyes. we lived in a pretty quiet neighborhood and we knew our neighbors at least three houses down on either side of us. plus eight or so across the street. it was the kind of street where everyone knew everyone's kids and no one could get away with anything. summers saw me outside from sunup to sundown, running through the neighborhood and playing with the neighbor kids. in the winter, i was out in the snow or at the ice rink. i loved ice skating.

i ran away from home once and sparked a search that involved most of our neighbors. i was 3? rode bike all over the place, walked to the lake or up the the DQ, which was a good walk. i loved the feel of the grass under my feet and the sound of the leaves rustling overhead in the breeze. i loved the four hour trip to my grandparents' home. i loved going to the St. Croix river to climb rocks and swim in the river water. i enjoyed going camping. i fished with my brother.

i played in the front or back yard and never worried about bad things happening. i drank out of the hose and climbed trees and played with Hot Wheels as well as Barbies. i remember having a pair of clogs and pink elephant pants. i remember loving watching Saturday morning cartoons. i remember my mom wearing rollers in her hair when we went to the store and her having to buy three kinds of cereals and three kinds of ice creams because we each had to have our own. i remember our house being the one where everyone's friends hung out. i remember trying to play pool in the basement. and i remember my dad's beer fridge in the basement. i remember going to the liquor store with him. i remember being my grandpa's favorite because i was the only girl. he spoiled me without spoiling me. i remember summers at my grandmother's, going to the county fair and playing with my cousins.

i remember snow at Christmas and the way lights twinkled off the white stuff at night. i remember enjoying being cold and i remember building forts with my brothers and having snowball fights. i remember digging in the snow to build tunnels and getting frost bite on my legs. i remember swimming at the high school's pool in the winter and my hair freezing into clumps. i remember riding a bus with a friend to the nearest roller rink so we could roller skate. i remember swimming in a lake and skating outside. i remember really liking my childhood.

i remember loving where i lived and being really sad when we moved down south. i remember looking forward to vacations over the summer so we could go back up north and visit family. and i wish that i'd been able to give that to my spawn.

i miss it alot.
