GROWING UP

When I was younger I'd put my arms in my shirt and tell people I lost my arms. I would restart the video game whenever I knew I was going to lose. I would sleep with all my stuffed animals so none of them would get offended. I had that one pen with six colors and tried to push all the buttons at once. I poured my soda into the cap acting like I was taking shots. I would wait behind a door to scare someone, but soon leave because they were taking too long or I had to pee. I would fake being asleep, do my dad would carry me in to my bed. I used to think that the moon followed my car. I would watch those two drops of rain roll down the window and pretend it was a race. I used to swallow fruit seeds and get scared to death that a tree was going to grow in my tummy. Remember when we were kids and couldn't wait to grow up. What were we thinking?
