I'm trying to decide if doing it in "order", more or less, or just as the memories come to me, would be the better way to do it. I'll do a couple posts of just random memories, and hope that I don't eventually repeat myself.
Ca. 1997 - ApE was having her 12th birthday party. She lived just a couple streets away. I put on my favorite black overalls (don't judge), did my hair, grabbed her present, and headed towards her house. I walked up and her, her sister, brother, and grandpa were doing some yard work. I thought to myself, "Huh, strange thing to do a few minutes before your birthday party starts..." She sees me walk up, and I tell her happy birthday. She hesitates and says, "Umm thanks." She takes my present inside and comes out a few seconds later and says, "Sooo....my party is actually tomorrow...." I can't actually remember if I said anything, but I remember walking home immediately afterwards, having Sister and Dad ask me why I was already home, not answering them, and running to my room.
I CAN say that I did not go to her actual party because I was so embarrassed. I heard it was good, but still, to this day, do I not regret my decision. Baha!
Ca. 1991 - Last day of kindergarten. Maybe second to last. I was talking to a friend who sat next to me. The teacher yelled my name, because apparently she had been talking to the class at the same time. I pretty much put my finger up in a "please don't interrupt me while I'm talking" kind of way, and turned back to my friend to keep talking. I immediately got a Check Mark next to my name on the board, which was a very bad sign. Even at that point I remember thinking, "Eh, it's the second to last day. Whatever."
