His mom and I have known each other since I was in Ms White's first/second grade combo class. I was a first grader who was forced to wear knit sweater skirt sets and had painfully short hair. She was a second grader who would sneek her pet rats to school and get caught. Together we saved many bees from drowning in the Cedergrove Elementary school sprinklers. We swore that her kid sister doll came to life at night and gave her real kid sister a real hard time. One time after making paper mache bowls in her backyard we found and emerald beetle drowned in her pool. We gave it cpr and brought it back to life. Our parents gave each other permission to spank one and other's kids (they never did!) Thats what kind of friends we were. We had pet jumping spiders who lived in a coffee can. I remember Dancing to Blind Melon and sneaking into her Ivy Fort out back. We used to talk about how when we grew up we would not have any kids (Eww!) Instead, we would have a large warehouse with many rooms and we would have all sorts of animals living in there. Bats seem to stand out. Some how Michael Jackson was involved with this. Most of my favorite childhood memories involve Aidyn's mother. So happy that after nearly twenty years (wow) I can still call this girl a friend. In just over a month Dorae will be welcoming a baby girl! Can't wait to get my hands on her and get some fun new born shots...Ah!
