When we were little
I remember when i could get you to do almost anything. there was a time when we were just small kids that I would hang from our swing set by my knees. i was always such a tomboy. You however, being a bit younger, and the boy just couldn't accept the fact i could do this & you couldn't. So one day, you decided to climb up there & show me & everyone else, you could do it to. You put forth such a tough & strong exterior & you climbed up to the very top of that swing set & sat there....you locked your knees as tight as you could & then you swung yourself backwards just a bit. Then, within seconds, you were face first in the dirt. Mommy rushed to you in a panic over your bloddy nose & I got scolded from Daddy & Mommy for being a bad influence. However, though I never said it, I had a bit of pride & respect for you for giving it a try. Though they were both mad at me, you weren't & you just got more determined to do it. Within a few short weeks you had it down pat & you were so happy with yourself & I was so proud to think in my own foolish mind I taught you something. I wish things had always been & stayed that easy between us. <3
