Tell me some of your earliest memories as a child!

1. I can remember being 4 years old and kicking my kindergarten teacher in the leg because she wouldn't let me go out to recess unless I drank white milk instead of chocolate like I usually drank. I had to sit in the corner for a week.
2. I was 5 years old and got my tonsils and adenoids removed and plugs in my ears and I can remember being on the gurney. I remember all the ice cream afterwards.
3. I can remember being about 6 and my neighbor got his stomach blown out by a firecracker and I was terrified of them ever since.
4. I can remember when I was a kid and all the neighborhood kids would come to our house to play because we had a treehouse, basketball goal, big trampoline, etc. There was a little boy a lot younger than all the other kids and everyone was really mean to him and used to throw cicada shells on him because he was so scared of them.

What are some things you remember as a kid?

1. I remember throwing a nerf football in the living room of someone's house that I don't remember with my grandpa. I had a cast on my arm. I broke it getting pushed off of a playground elephant. But I don't remember that.

2. I remember being in day care and touching a black friend's hair and thinking it was cool and then getting scolded by his mom. I remember I felt really embarrassed about it like I did something really bad. But he was just my friend and I was just a 3 year old kid noticing something about his hair that was different than mine. He was feeling my hair too and we were laughing about it and then suddenly everything got so serious like we did something weird and wrong.

3. I remember trying to run away from home at 5 and falling flat on my head on the rocks and getting a huge gash in my forehead.

4. I remember a ramp at school that I used to love to run as fast I could and jump as high as I could off of it. I also remember granola bars in the green packages and apple juice for a snack at that same school. I remember a specific day I brought Smurf cereal in a ziplock bag. Why did I just remember that right now? hahaha! I was in Kindergarten. I remember taking naps there. I remember my kindergarten teacher had long forearm hair. She would talk to me out in the hallway sometimes and I remember staring down at it. hahaha (I can't remember why we'd talk in the hallway though. I just remember the forearm hair.)

@brokensignal awesome memories! What you said about touching your friends hair reminded me of another memory of a black girl I was classmates with when I was 7 or 8 years old. She used to pull her eyelids up and made them stick like that and then chased me all over the playground and I was absolutely terrified and would scream and run. 😂
