when i was a child, i know i could remember so many things. i knew nursery rhymes front to back, i knew rules of made up games. i knew every song in any disney movie i owned. where has all that information gone? i remember parts of nursery rhymes...i can't remember all the cartoons i used to watch or the name of every character in every movie. did my brain just toss this stuff out, deciding it was useless? i wish i remembered this stuff. i don't know why. i wonder if, when i become a parent, if i'll remember things with my children then. what's really horrifying is that the stories may even change. why can't i tell the three billy goat's gruff anymore (i cant remember that story very well either...)
my mom tells me that she used to read me hamlet and i could recite a certain scene ad nauseum. i wish i remembered any hamlet now. i used to count my cherrios in groups of four. how cool was that? i wish i remembered. apparently, i had a lot of potential.
a lot of times i feel like finding an old children's book and reading it. it's so refreshing and nostalgic. i miss winnie the pooh. so much
