I am from...

I am from where the scariest thing was the monsters under my bed; to the point I had to sleep with mommy and daddy
I am from "tag, your it!" to playing with Barbie's; the funniest thing was cutting my dolls hair off and getting yelled at because I did it
I am from where the biggest reason to cry was getting scraped knees, falling off my bike; getting off my "training wheels"; wearing barney band-aids
I am from sharing secrets in school and sharing lunches at my desk; gossiping about who has a crush on who... going on play-dates and slumber parties; staying up until 10 the latest, thinking it was so late
I am from wanting to sleep over the hospital when my new baby brother was born; to bringing him to my first show and tell in preschool
I am from sharing my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to throwing out the yucky colored skittles
I am from a fantasy world where all your dreams come true to the tragedy of my grandfather's death; I remember the day, place and time
I am from the worst thin being my parents divorce to having to worry about life/death situations everyday and worrying about losing someone I love
I am from my childhood and what still happens today...
