When I was in first grade, I'd read Little Women and
just loved it. I still do. I read it over every year
or two to this day.
Well, I read Fahrenheit 451 in 3rd grade and got so
scared they were going to burn my favorite book that I
set myself the task of memorizing Little Women just in
case (you know, I also wished that I could've married
a man whose last name was Case so I could've name my
son Justin and my daughter Inenee, but that's beside
the point).
My mother caught me and asked me what I was doing as
I'd been reading the same page for a long time, so I
told her and she took my Little Women book away from
me.
I also used to go around kneeling in people's flower
gardens in the spring and talk to daffodils. They
were such happy looking flowers--all bright yellow and
nodding their little heads affirmatively in the spring
breezes--that I was positive that if you whispered
your cares and woes into one, God would make them go
away.
Yeah, I was a strange duck. (WAS???!!)
