Your favorite childhood memory, in one sentence:
Certain students obeyed the structure of the question, replying with a complete sentence:
- 4 kids make a mess in a muddy backyard.
- Carrier has arrived.
- Summer Camp is awesome!
- That's personal!
- I ate a banana
- I was bad at softball
- A TV gave me a concussion
- oh god why are there so many ferrets
- climbing trees
- soccer games
- breaking my femur
- summer with grandparents
- going on field trips
- playing
- figuring out how to use a water fountain
- vacation in Thailand
- infantile amnesia
- video games
- [illustration of a ghost chasing pacman eating dots]
- corner
- go karting
- spending time with family
- playing with dogs
- scoring winning soccer goal
- going to beach
- carefree summers
My cold, robotic, grown-up professor grinch heart is warmed by these snippets of lives happily remembered. I'm curious about why "breaking my femur" would be one's favorite childhood memory, but I suppose context counts for quite a bit in comparing memories...
This post's theme word is defervescence, "the abatement of a fever." I vividly remember being sick in childhood, but the gradual defervescence left no distinct impression.
