What's your happiest childhood memory/ies Callaway?
That is a difficult question, since there are many happy memories.
I remember my dad teaching me to tie my red tennis shoes when I was four, just before we went to get a Christmas tree.
I remember my mother and I going to get ice cream cones, just the two of us. She got cherry vanilla and I got chocolate chip.
I remember my aunt taking my brothers' and my pictures when the younger brother was a baby. He messed his diaper just before she took the picture and my other brother made a face and said, "Ooooh, something stinks." She snapped the picture right then and it was a very cute face.
I remember visiting my grandparents and my grandmother saying that I was "smart" because I made my bed as soon as I got up. She spent a month trying to teach me to bake biscuits like hers, but I was a dismal failure at that. She taught me to quilt, though.
Another time my cousin and I visited her together and I was watching a show on television while she slept in one morning. As soon as she woke up she changed the channel, but I was not done watching the show yet, so I changed it back. We wound up in a fight over the TV channel and my grandmother came in and turned off the TV. She never had us visit together again.
Thank you for sharing those Callaway. I love those little snapshots the mind takes when one is young.
And, can't imagine you fighting as a child....fiesty girl!
I had strange notions about fairness, even then.
I thought that it was unfair for her to change the channel in the middle of my show. She could have picked another show when mine had ended and that would have been fair.
