I Can’t Do It!

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was five I don’t think there was a thought in my brain as to what I wanted to be when I grew up!

I knew what I wanted to DO when I was 5…I wanted to learn to tie my shoes and show my teacher so I could get the award she gave out! She has them for everything! Knowing your address, phone number, line leader, milk distributor and they were so cute written out in her teacher printing.

But boy did I have trouble! I remember my mom teaching me and my twin. The problem for me was they were both right handers and I’m a leftie! I just couldn’t get it. My dad’s a leftie, but I don’t remember any help from him!

Finally, we had to resort to the Bunny Ears method. Two loops and put one over the other. It was acceptable, and I received my reward.
