So, random memory time.

[conuly]

I'm bored. So I want all other bored people to just post their most random memory. Seriously. Go random.

Mine?

Um.

Okay.

Summer. I was walking with Jenn down the street, and the sun was in my eyes. We were eating Italian ices, mine was Lemon (with real lemon chunks) and hers was probably strawberry. I looked up, and I could just see my dad walking quickly ahead of us. The sun was glittering off the pavement. Why I remember this, I don't know, but.

I had to actually think to get more random memories than the first one that came... Though that was random, simply because I hadn't really remembered it until you asked the question, and it randomly surfaced.

I was sitting underneath the cherry tree in our backyard. It was early afternoon, and the leaves were making dapply shadows. A spider crawled over my leg. My mother made me a bean burrito for lunch, but it had too much cheese and then I felt sick to my stomach.

My dad's side of the family was having a reunion. I was recovering from some sort of lung sickness and was staying in the cabin. My cousin David, who is maybe two years older than me, came to see what I was doing. We lay on the couch, eating popsicles and examining our feet. He traced the outline of my foot and said that I would grow to be tall someday. The posicles were banana flavoured. He smelled like sun lotion.

My family was on a road trip. My little brother had been crying, but he'd finally quieted down. Peter, Paul and Mary were playing. It was that song about the racehorse, Stewball. I put my head against the speaker -- I can still remember the feel of it against my ear -- and listened and watched the streetlights go by. My parents started to sing along. My brother woke up and started to cry again.
