Isn't it funny how a scent or a song can bring back memories of things you haven't thought of in a very long time.
Do you remember...
How much better homemade ice cream tastes because you helped crank it?
The satisfaction of opening a brand new box of crayons to draw with. All those colors to choose from with nothing but your imagination to limit you?
Wax Lips that you could chew like chewing gum?
The thrill of hearing the ice cream truck?
Catching fireflies so you could let them loose in your room later that night and falling asleep to the hypnotic winking of their lights going off and on?
Making a wish over dandelion fluff and blowing as hard as you can so all the seeds would blow away to make your wish come true?
How getting picked last for anything stinks?
The sound of your grandparents voices?
Watching the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights?
What Flubber is?
Rolling change for gas money?
How you wished Flubber was real when you banged up your car?
The name of the first person you ever fell in love with?
The name of the person sitting next to you at your high school graduation?
What do you remember?
Sitting on a blanket at the drivein movies, with homemade popcorn and junk candies on a hot summer night.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh, the memories. I was recently at my cousins and got a small cut on my finger. She said, "I have just the thing for that". She came back with a small jar from her first aid cabinet. The second I opened it memories from my childhood flooded my brain. It was BGO cream. Does anybody remember the stuff? She said she has searched for more for years and can't find it, not even with internet searches. My finger was never sore, BGO is good stuff, I wonder what happennned to it.
