Show & Tell

I remember when I was Elise's age. Everyone was my friend. I was not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow- just living one day at a time.

I remember the TOYS R US song and believing that I would be that 'toys r us kid' forever. This picture of Chris reminds me of my yellow jeep from toys r us... I was the coolest kid on the block [or so I like to remember it :p]- everyone wanted to ride around I'm my new car ^_^

Everything was going great- the sun was bright, there was a gentle wind... I would drive by a few kids and they would all run up and ask for a ride. After picking my first passenger, I would ride around the park and then pick up another. I was making all kinds of friends. I don't remember talking much, maybe just the usual small talk... "I'm Kay, what's your name?" ... But we would just enjoy the ride with the wind and the eyes of all the kids who wanted a ride.

This went on for a good while- everyone had had their second or third ride by now- then it happened. We started to slow down and the familiar sound of the "engine" came to a halt... I remember getting out and walking around to the front of my jeep, pulling the hood up, then looking and poking at the engine [a big sticker with illustrations], and scratching my head while trying to figure out what was wrong and how to fix it.

Soon my 'friend,' who realized the ride was over, got out and left to tell the other kids about what just happened... Well, the kids all came running over- poking, pushing and turning the wheels, the 'engine,' and event the lights. Once all the kids stopped arguing about who took up all of the taxi time and used up the "gas," they all left. There I was with my broken jeep. I was so sad...

Over some icey cream ^_^ *Yum!* my big brother explained that the jeep ran on special batteries. I didn't really care how it worked, as long as it would work again- plus, the ice cream took my mind off of my broke't jeep.

Wow... Long post... Sorry guys :

I just got caught up... Well as you can see, I'm back- and my friend is doing just fine now :D

I need to check out everyone's blogs- and try to make up for all of the posts/entries I missed!
