Funny memory

Here’s something else I remember from my childhood.

When I was in 4th grade, I was next to my friend Melissa Sargent. As she was talking, she turned to point at something and stuck her finger into my nostril!

Milestones

Elliot passed his driver’s license test yesterday.

So many milestones for him this year – driver’s license…going to college…

Looking back, I do not now consider those as significant events in my life. At the time they probably were, but I don’t remember details at all. Did I fail a couple of times before passing the driver’s test? Was I excited when I received my college acceptance letter?
