| Memory... When my son turned five, I surprised him with his first trip to Disney World. My son was very smart, and very analytical, even at five, so I was concerned that if I waited any longer, he wouldn't enjoy it as much. When I told him about the trip, he was so excited, and asked in awe, “Will Mickey Mouse be there?” and I said, “Of course he’ll be there. He lives there.” He jumped up and down, then stopped, looked at me, serious again, and said, “Is it really Mickey, or just some guy in a Mickey Mouse suit?” My little boy; I had reason to be concerned. We had a ball, and he enjoyed the “magic” of Disney World thoroughly. -G.N. Kinzers, PA |
| Memory... One particularly fond memory I have of my childhood is of when we’d go food shopping. My mom would ride her bike, the old fashioned kind with the metal basket on each side of the rear tire. My little sister and I would each ride in one of the baskets both ways, about three miles each way, holding the food on top of us on the ride home. It’s hard to imagine we were ever that small. Of course with the laws these days, that would never happen, but way back when… - W.N. Pembroke, MA |
