...looked menacing but was not a fighter in any way
...no one knew lived in the neighborhood because I was never outside
...watched everything happen from the window
...preferred a book over a bike
...looked 18 when I was only 12
...wasn't rich but had everything
...hobnobbed with celebrities, unphased by their stardom
...had a best friend named Television
...never had to try hard to earn good grades
...could eat three servings at dinner and never gain an ounce...
...and then grew up to be an amazing writer.
What kind of kid were you?
*smooches...reliving memories as I watch my kids grow up*

I wonder how they will remember their childhood?
