I remember when my mom use to read me night stories before I go to bed. I use to love when it was cold outside she will fix cold breakfast at night. My mom and I were so close on Friday’s or Saturday’s will go out on mother-daughter days. She means so much to me I don’t know what I would do without her. I remember when she took me out to try on dresses for church, seeing that smile on my mom face really made me happy.

Wooahh….Lots of things to say here. I am so crazy about my dad; I’m a daddy’s girl. I loved when my dad use to take me out to feed the ducks at the levee. I use to run after them, I forgot that they was in the water one day, I almost drown. I remember when we use to go to church on Sunday’s and I use to be singing with the choir. The funniest part about it is when we use to sneak out the house and go to Wal-Mart.

Mrs. King was very special to me, she was my bus driver as a child. I use to like when after school, she will take me out to eat, when she finished her bus routes. We use play games while sitting at the table waiting on our food. Mrs. King and I were so close that I called her my mom. I use to love going over her house playing with her kids. This day, I still call her mother because I have a daughter by one of her sons.

There’s so much I can say about my auntie. We went through so much together; we had our ups and downs. When I was a little girl she use to play dolls with me. I remember when I burned all the hair off her doll head. My auntie and I got into it that day over the doll and some food, but we was just playin. We act like were sisters but she is an auntie that stayed with me my whole childhood.

My third grade teacher is the best one I ever had. Mrs. Hicks loved taking me to church with her and her 2 daughters. I had fun when we went on a field trip to Jackson, Mississippi. I forgot I was in a museum and I screamed when I saw a big snake. Mrs. Hicks ran to me and put her hand over my mouth. I hated when she had to go to another school and she got her number changed. I still see her know in random stores shopping with her daughters.

A Child's Story

I read a story about a child who was wishing bad things on herself just because her father cheated on her mother with the auntie. It really upset me and brought back memory. I myself wished bad things on my father and auntie.  I was in Junior High and bad things did happen.  My father loss his job, so him and my mother split up.  My auntie started to have health problem. 

Rainbow Fish

My favorite children’s book is Rainbow Fish.  This fish was the most beautiful fish that lived in the ocean.  Rainbow Fish didn't want to share her beautiful scales with anyone else so the other fishes didn't want to play with him.  So one day, Rainbow Fish was really upset about the other fishes because they didn't want to play with her.  The octopus told Rainbow Fish that she has to share her scales with the other fishes.  Rainbow Fish decided to share her scales with the other fishes.  After that, the other fishes were happy and became her friend.  Rainbow Fish was so happy that she shared her scales with the other fishes.

Favorite quotes about children

Your children need your presence more than your presents.  ~Jesse Jackson

It's not only children who grow.  Parents do too.  As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.  I can't tell my children to reach for the sun.  All I can do is reach for it, myself.  ~Joyce Maynard
