You also look so sweet! This was a great writing prompt. I am getting ready to write mine but first enjoying reading everyone's! And its so funny to me what parts of memories stick years later, like the 'hamburger' in your dad's hand. Why do our minds hold onto some details and totally let go of others?

I learned how to read before kindergarten, so I spent most of my early years with my nose in a book and too distracted to put much effort into learning life skills. I think I was in 2nd or 3rd grade before I mastered shoe-tying.Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21434337.post-1149431117434788882006-06-04T15:25:00.000+01:002006-06-04T15:25:00.000+01:00I hadn't thought about shoe-tying in so long!

Now, I think it would be easy to grow up without ever learning, there are so many kinds of shoe fasteners now!

Researchers have proved we remake our memories every time we tell them. I did like the shoe story though. I remember being quite persistent at some things when I was little. Like you, I think I need to learn from my childhood self at times. Thanks for sharingCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.com
