Okay I have two that I am going to share because I am not sure which one happened first. However both are very vivid in my mind.
The first one involves going shopping with my granny at JC Penny's. This was back when JCP had those big glass display cases and they sold wedding dresses. I remember going in there and just being in awe looking at those dresses behind the cases. My granny took us shopping for dresses and shoes for church all the time. Anyways on this trip I remember seeing this BIG, WHITE BOX on the floor (probably a wedding dress box). I got excited and began to jump on it and have fun, until my granny got a hold of me and busted my butt in JCP. I learned that day that unlike some grannies mine would spank you! But she would love you after, too!
My other memory is of my dad getting his tattoo. I think I was around three. We were at the carnival, I think for the fair and rodeo. There was this little trailer that I think was red with a white roof. I remember being outside with my mom. When my dad finally came outside he had this thing on his arm that was covered up. It was his tattoo of a guy on a motorcycle. But as a kid I remember being impatient and wondering why he went in and came out with his arm changed. As far as I know its his one and only tattoo. I now have four, one I should have removed and the others I love. I love the other one, it just didn't work for long term.
Memories are funny. Typically we remember our own perception of that moment. For example, my dad use to race dirt track when I was little. I remember one time he won and they paid him with a bag of coins. I thought my dad was so awesome he won a bag of gold! All in our perception. probably why most people don't remember the same thing exactly very often. Either way....remember on~
