A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..... Well not really but it feels like that! Naturally I was a superbly well behaved child with excellent manners and extreme respect for adults. My mother always received compliments on how well behaved we were. However my mother continues to tell the story of how I gave dirty looks since the day I was born. She often tells of how whenever my father was in the room I was a perfect Angel but as soon as he walked out my horns emerged and I breathed fire at my mother. I was a sweet child full of laughter and smiles. I have wonderful memories of childhood. Much like today though I was very argumentative. I always had an opinion, a theory, or even just wanted to be stubborn. I am still like that today in fact my mother recently posted a saying on Facebook that said “I am not arguing, simply proving that I am right". Below it she said “This sounds exactly like one of my children". Well everyone knew who that child was! I had a sense of humor just like my father’s and adults were genuinely drawn to me. I was carefree and adventurous, and I loved being outside.

uh huh r-i-g-h-t " excellent manners and extreme respect for adults". I have four kids! :) But your blog post made me smile. I got a hint of your personality and perhaps your inner child. I always enjoy your writing, keep on writing!
ReplyDeleteLol I too have five children, the first two of my mothers (including me)did have excellent manners and respect, the last two not so much! :) I think times have changed so much since I was being raised. Even to this day as an adult I could not imagine talking to my elders the way children talk to adults these days. It's sad. Be careful not to talk about my inner child too loudly I do not want the adult in me to hear it. Thanks!
