When I was a child..

I was a very happy child, which is why it is weird that I don't recall a lot of memories from when I was little. I know that I would always make people laugh and people enjoyed being around me. One of the memories that does stick out for me is when I was about three. I loved candy and I wanted to get the vitamin gummy bears that were up on the top shelf in the kitchen, so I figured out a way, I got the tallest chair in the kitchen and climbed like a monkey, opened the top shelf and pulled out the flinstone vitamins. I went in to my bedroom shut the door and locked it. I remember that after about the first ten vitamins they started to not taste so good, but I kept eating them anyways. That is the last I remember of the story, but i have been told that my parents had to find the key to the room open it up and they immediately took me to the hospital. They had to pump my stomach to get me to throw all of them up. I know that now I should probably hate candy or any kind of gummys, but I think I love them even more.

Now I can not think of what to write. I really have a hard time remembering any memories. I wish my parents had video taped me as a child so that I could see what I was like. I still can not think of anything. As I got older around five years of age, I remember hanging out with a lot of my neighbor friends. I was super shy and I wanted everybody to really like me. The timer is up! Yuppy!

When I wrote this I had a hard time recalling any memories other then the one story I have been told many times. I don't know if I have a bad memory or what has happened to the details of my childhood over the years. I did better then I thought I would do, I would stop to think and remember that I need to keep writing.

  1. It sounded good to me. Its always hard bringing up stuff in your past and reliving them, well it is for me. But you did good, what a experience that would of been for you with the vitamins. Kids they are so daring.

  2. I did this exercise myself and I think I ended it the same way you ended yours. :) I think it's funny that you still like candies after all that. I once gorged myself on a bag of mini Snickers when I was probably around 11 or so. They were so good!
