when i was little...

When I was little I thought the car wouldn't start unless I was buckled in.

When I was little I thought certain weeds were edible.

When I was little my sister protected me from a dog by throwing a stick at it.

When I was little my sister was my hero.

When I was little Barbies actually breathed.

When I was little we always ate supper as a family.

When I was little I sneaked a lick of butter when I set the table.

When I was little I got stickers on a chart if I pooped.

When I was little my parents let me decorate my room however I wanted.

When I was little I thumbed through chapter books, just waiting to be able to read the stories inside.

When I was little I crawled in and out of bushes and our woodpile.

When I was little I scribbled in a notebook on my dad's lap.

When I was little my mom braided my hair like a pro.

When I was little messes didn't bother me.

When I was little I would ride my bike up and down and up and down and up and down my street.

When I was little I didn't own a gaming system and my life was better for it.

When I was little my mom would sing me  the song "Toppins" when I was sick and gently rub my face until everything was better.

When I was little I would lay in my bed and look out at the night sky and wonder about the big world and what God was really like.

When I was little I prayed every night that a tornado, fire, or murderer would not get me.

When I was little I noticed my sister reading her bible every night.

When I was little I shared a bathroom with my entire family.

When I was little I would lay on my dad's chest and try and match the rhythm of my breath with his.

When I was little a tire swing kept me occupied for hours.

When I was little I never wanted any other parents but my own.

When I was little my mom let me use a hot glue gun to create to my hearts content.

When I was little I would ride on my grandpa's lap while he mowed the lawn.

When I was little I didn't know the income was scarce; I knew nothing but plenty.

When I was little I was loved into the woman I've become.
