I remember crawling around on all fours...

Yes, that's what I said, I crawled around on all fours. You may be thinking that I am either being funny or recalling a time when I was a baby. Nope, I am talking about the earliest memory I have. I was in kindergarten and it was the annual kindergarten play. This play consisted of various nursery rhymes being acted out. I was fortunate enough to land the all important role as the lamb in "Mary had a little lamb." I don't remember much else about the play except crawling out there and getting laughed at. That is the story of my life though, getting laughed at.

I do also recall the usual stuff such as the smell and a little about the classroom. I even remember the kindergarten crush, only because we met again in fifth grade at another school. Of course, my family ended up moving and I had to switch to another school. I didn't understand then why we move so much but I was 6 so the only thing that mattered to me then was cartoons and toys.

I did meet a long time friend in kindergarten, Kevin. We stayed friends all through adolescence and teen years. He was my best friend. I spent many weekends at his house. It was with his family that I was introduced to church. His family went every Sunday and Wednesday. Kevin's mom was definitely different from mine. She was strict, protective, and very frugal (well, I didn't realize that then). She was caring as well. She ended being the Assistant Teacher when I was in 1st grade. I didn't find out till many years later that she kept all of the drawings I had done in class and at her house. She really cared about me.

I am not sure why I am writing about this but I have had some time to reflect a little lately. I guess I am re-evaluating my life in some sense. I may continue and write more about my life on here. Who knows, maybe then I can truly understand why my life is out of season.
