I’ve really enjoyed reading the comments posted on my Getting to Know Meme. I have been reminded of things I hadn’t thought about in years! All this reminiscing has motivated me to start digging through my memories and preserving more of them here. Here’s one to get us started.
I was in Mrs. Dingler’s kindergarten class. On this particular day, like most other days back then, we were creating artistic masterpieces. There was a table full of construction paper, paint, glue, crayons, magic markers, and even macaroni. I worked diligently to make something pretty that my parents would want to hang on the fridge.
My mom came to pick me up at the end of the day, and Mrs. Dingler expressed “concern” for me. She showed my mom the picture I had created. There were black beetles glued all over the paper.
Much to my disappointment, I don’t think that picture ever graced the refrigerator door.

Hmmm… I’m noticing a buggy pattern here with you, T. Maybe your current spider infestation stems from this childhood fascination with gluing dead bugs to paper?

Someone has been watching too many scary movies?

HAH! Good one, Barry. That could help explain things as well…

I got caught tying strings to Junebugs and flying them around like a kite….

Andrew - Who said they were dead?
Barry - Ewww. I may have been an unusual child, but I never resorted to eating bugs. hehe.
Garry - Is there a such thing as too many scary movies?
Andrew - That’s all I need…you two ganging up on me!
Bucky - Haha! I remember trying that as a kid as well. Oh, the entertainment of the South!
