Not so long ago…

I Remember…
I remember jeans with swans and horses on the pockets,
I remember a white t-shirt with a rainbow splashed across the front,
I remember playing Chinese jacks in the lunchroom,
I remember when seconds were free in said lunchroom,
I remember going to skating parties once a month.

I remember locking the principal out of the school one day,
I remember kids laughing,
I remember my teacher’s look of horror,
I remember a wooden paddle with holes,
I remember not having to call my parents.

I remember Girl Scouts,
I remember bake sales,
I remember fall festivals,
I remember painted animals on the doors,
I remember loving school!
