from my younger years

My parent's are moving to Kelowna tomorrow.

T.o.m.o.r.r.o.w.

Yes, I did just say that my parent's are moving to Kelowna tomorrow.

But that's not what I came here to write. In light of their impending move here they have been bringing boxes out this way. Some of these boxes hold my own personal history. I looked through one box this morning that held Sunday School artwork, stories and a few things from grade one and two. Most of these things are being tossed (sorry mama), but I laughed out loud multiple times as I shuffled through the contents of said box.

I found a journal from grade one and two. You know, the kind the teacher makes you write in. I thought I would share a few things I wrote in that journal.

December 13, 1993 - this is a Pickhr uv my tehr I love my tehr very very muh sey is very nuis to me and I am very nuis to her

February 7, 1995 - I like the forest Boys chase me and Jill (I don't know who Jill is... but I think that's what it says). When you were in school did boys chase you? Last time they said they will Kiss us. they get grade fours to help them. They chase us in the forest. We have to run threw mud. I have cot Jill before Tony allmast kissed her. We like them chasing us. It's fun. I like it.

Ugh. Is it okay that my eight year old self embarrasses me?
