Every now and then something brings up a random and long-forgotten childhood memory.  Since these seem to become fewer and farther between as I get older, I thought this blog might be a good place to document them so I can come back and relive them whenever I want.

When I was in preschool, we made green eggs and ham.  Me being a picky eater, although you’d never know it by looking at me now, didn’t like eggs or ham, and especially not when they were dyed green.  So instead, I got to draw my own green eggs and ham on a paper plate with crayons!  What a brilliant idea!  Gotta give props to those preschool teachers!

I’d like to thank my cousin Janette for the childhood memories idea.  A few years ago when I was in college, she and I were sitting outside enjoying a few beers when she brought up some funny stories from our childhood that I had completely forgotten.  She suggested that we write them all down in a book so we wouldn’t forget them.  Thanks Tweety…this isn’t quite a book, but I figure it’ll do!

And just for shits and giggles, here’s a childhood picture of me to go along with the childhood memory!  Thanks for the big green foo foo dress mom!
