I did not live near my cousins growing up either. Now, my son lives about twenty minutes from his (we used to live next door).

I want him to grow up with his cousins, because I feel I missed a lot from not being around them.

My butt got spanked so much that all the trees around our home didn’t grow lower branches….everything became a switch.

I LOVE it. I love #2 and 3.

I learned to read at a very young age as well. My parents were very very insistent that I make reading a priority in my life, and to this day, there is nothing I love more than getting comfy in bed with a book.

This is a great list. Especially numbers 3, 10, and 11. Ha!

Awh it’s no wonder I like you so much! Though I may not have been around my grandmother when I was growing up, there’re a lot of personality traits we had in common as kids – of course the whole wanting it ‘my way or the highway’ may have backfired hehe
Great list Beekers!

That’s a great list of childhood memories. I’m not sure whether or not it’s sad that we become more normal once we grow up.

Great list of memories! Not even giving me pants to change into would get me to wear the dresses. LOL!

Your poor mother. You must have made her crazy.:)
It’s great that you can remember all these moments in your life. I only wish I could.

It’s funny that it was the shoes and not the $2.85 that held you back from running away.

Wow — GREAT memories! I wish I could have ran away with you…I was always going solo.

My Grandma was cool too…she bought me my first 2 piece swimsuit and showed me my first R rated movie.

I did run away one time…down the street to a friends house. I got ground for two weeks and couldn’t play outside! This is a great list for TT.

I think decorating the Christmas tree in the forest is wonderful. I’m sure that the tree felt special.
Childhood can be special because kids have a way of making it special.

Have a great T13.
