Writer's Block: Do you remember?
[Error: unknown template qotd]
I remember popping a cherry tomato into my mouth. We were in my father's hospital room celebrating my 2nd birthday.
I also remember his funeral a week later.
I remember bits and bobs of other standout things that happened in the next few years: the cicada infestation, live lobsters on a kitchen floor before my friend's dad cooked them, finding baby turtles in the grass at a park, pushing toys through that small space under the railing of our balcony and down sixteen stories to the street (whoops), breaking a telephone cord in the store and my mother screaming about it, the first day of nursery school...but I can't put them in chronological order quite so well.
