I can't wait until I have my own child to share this sort of thing with!<BR/><BR/>This did remind me of a time with my brother. We were around 5-6yrs. We had a special pet worm one afternoon. Needless to say he didn't survive the bath we gave him. We gave that dear worm a special funeral and burial in our backyard. God bless his little wormy heart...he didn't have a chance one we got our hands on him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-80306382651978621322008-03-17T19:16:00.000-04:002008-03-17T19:16:00.000-04:00I lived a story with Andrea when she must have bee...I lived a story with Andrea when she must have been 3 or 4 years old...she wandered off and walked downtown Albion or Lincoln??... all by herself when we were supposed to be with a baby sitter while our parents were getting ready to go out for dinner!

I used to arrange our old living room furniture into a set in the garage and pretend I was a character in an old B&W CBS soap, serving coffee to the neighbor (a large stuffed rabbit) while imagining I was wearing a dress, pumps and pearls. I wanted to be a drummer and played air drums to the Stones' "Between the Buttons" album every day after school...(probably no surprise I ended up with a drummer). But my big dream was to be Carol Merrill on "Let's Make a Deal." I spent hours upon hours hand-waving my way through our living room and kitchen when no one else was home. Hope Ezra will always be able to conjure up his inner Spiderman...Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014929186976646915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-89709962082929758062008-03-15T13:13:00.000-04:002008-03-15T13:13:00.000-04:00this post pressed on the soft spot of my heart. xo...this post pressed on the soft spot of my heart. xoxo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-69098292828159725812008-03-15T12:36:00.000-04:002008-03-15T12:36:00.000-04:00ok. so much to love here.clapping out of character...ok. so much to love here.<BR/><BR/>clapping out of character?<BR/>ah... i can remember really thinking i was wonder woman and could repel bullets w/ my gold wristbands....<BR/>xolisa solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824254691379334918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-1287710248028450352008-03-14T17:42:00.000-04:002008-03-14T17:42:00.000-04:00Nice memories and observations.
