When I was little,
I would cry over falling.

When I was little,
being a bad friend meant you just stole toys.

When I was little,
We took warm naps.

When I was little,
All I cared about was my mommy and grandma.

When I was little,
I hadn't grown up yet.

When I was thinking about my best friend and my small family, including my grandma and mom, and how we've all been through together... I also kinda explain some of my life in this... it was fun writing this and I read it over and over! =)
