"First memory" Year: 1998 Age: 4 Location: Elizabeth-town, Kentucky
I reach up and turn the door knob, opening the door. As i step on to the porch I feel a little pain. There's something in my shoe, a sliver? Man those always hurt to get taken out. I take my shoe off and remove my sock then breath a sigh of relief. No sliver, it was just a small, sharp twig. It's been there a while, long enough to leave a dent. I sure hope it doesn't stay forever, that would be bad I think. Ok back to my adventure. Lets see, first where was Snuffy, he's got to be here somewhere, ha I'll find him, I'm good at that kind of thing. I walk around the house looking, well he's got to be around here somewhere. Wait, hmm... I know, he's tied to the couch. 'K, I gotta go back inside. I guess excitement got the best of me, again. Inside, inside, inside, run. Man grown ups have it so easy, they have long legs. I can't wait till I have some, that's what veggies are for, at least that's what Grammy says. Ok I'm inside now try not to trip on the rug again, that was bad last time. Blood, but also ice cream, yum. Yay there he is "Snuffy" Tail wagging "wanna go for a walk" now jumping up. Hahaha, it tickles. His tongue is warm and sticky. I have to wipe my face of slobber. I grab his leash and hook him up. I'm glad Ben showed me how to clip his leash up before unhooking him from couch. Finally I'm on my way out. I get to go down the road, that's where Dan's friend lives. They're probably playing basketball. I tried once but I can't throw that high. Tugging at the leash, yes I know he wants to get moving but I want to look a flowers, I think I saw a wish flower. Nope he's still pulling, I'll have to look when we come back. Hey maybe I'll be able to watch that show Dan is always talking about what was it? Oh, haha "Bevis and Butthead" I know Dad said not to say that word but I can say it in my head cause its fun, hey I can say it here. I look around, good no one to hear me. "Butthead" I giggle a little it's almost as good as saying "poo" actually funnier. Wow we're already here? I always thought it was further, hmm. Well there the hoop is but where are they? I hear something out back and go and see what they're doing. Spurt. Whoa. Right in the face. Now I'm wet. Man they got me. To bad I didn't bring my trunks, oh well. It's still fun to be wet. Spurt. Again, man how many of them have water guns? They're all running around soaking each other. Then Dan runs up to me "hey, you can be on my team" yes! I get to be a part of it "just shoot Aaron, Steve and Rick,ok?" I nod "but what about Snuffy?" I ask concerned "here I'll take him and tie him up" he said as he handed me a water gun, the smaller of the two. I grip it firmly, man it's heavy. I see Rick and try to hit him but my aim is off, this gun is way to heavy. Just then Tom runs up "hey, want to trade for this one" he says holding out a smaller gun "it's already filled" well it does look lighter "ok, thanks" I hold this new gun, it's much easier to hold. I pull the trigger. Oops I should have looked where I was shooting. I accidentally hit Tom. Mistake. And now he has a bigger gun, at least he's a good brother, he just laughs it off. And the day goes on
