My best childhood memory was when I was about 4. This was back in Armenia and we had no intention of coming to the states because we had everything we ever wanted in Armenia. I remember being such a tomboy and wanting to always play with my guy cousins. Well, this one time, the guys got together and "dared" someone to eat the ants that were crawling on our cherry trees in the orchard. Umm..all the guys thought it was gross and didn't even want to touch them, let alone eat them. Well, me being the stubborn girl, wanting to prove myself to everyone, I decided to do it.
As I stared at the little army of ants crawling up and down the cherry tree, doing their work, carrying the sweet tree-sap to their little caves, I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have one of these little critters on my tongue!! I took a couple of them and just popped them in my mouth. As you may know, ants are very small, so I couldn't chew them. I had to burst them open with my little tongue and suck out the juice. LMAO! I hope you all haven't had your lunch yet. They weren't all that bad. They were actually pretty sweet because of all the tree-sap they'd consumed. From that moment, I was known as the queen of the town. All the kids feared me!!
I was like the "Godmother" of Hoktemberian. At the age of 4, I had people bringing me goodies, doing my chores, and the girls used to brush my hair after a hard day's play. Awww...I wonder where those poor souls are today. DAMNIT! If only it were that easy these days.
Now, you tell me what's your best childhood memory. Think back to before you were this thick-headed forumer.
