When I was younger
I'd put my arms in
my shirt and told people I lost my
arms. I would
restart the video game whenever I knew
I was going to lose. I
would sleep with all the
stuffed
animals so none of them would get
offended. I had that one
pen with 6 colors, and tried to
push all the buttons at once. I
poured my soda
into the cap and acted like I
was taking
shots. I
would wait behind a door to
scare someone, but left
because they took too long or I
had to pee. I would fake
being asleep, so my
dad would carry me to
bed. I
used to think that the
moon followed my car. I
would watch those two
drops of rain roll
down the window and pretend it
was a race. I used to
swallow fruit
seeds and get
scared to
death that a tree was going to
grow in my tummy. Remember when we were
kids and
couldn't wait to grow up?
What were we
thinking?
