5 random childhood memories I was thinking about while trying to fall asleep last night:
1. How me and my best friend Annie Behlke used to go down the street to the alley behind the carpet store on Northfield and scrounge around for old carpet-sample portfolios that were being discarded and then ooh and ahh over the pretty carpeting and/or play carpet salesman;
2. Pepsi icees from the K-Mart at Southgate on a hot summer day;
3. When the father across the street from us killed himself and we saw them bring him out on a stretcher when we were about to leave for school that morning;
4. The time I projectile-vomited in front of a boy I had a crush on who had been sent out into the hallway for being bad (ahh, Barry);
5. Wearing my first bra to gym class.
