Edward Has No Self Control

The last post got me thinking about things I used to love to do when I was a kid. I don't remember being a high maintenance kid, but maybe I was. I'll have to ask my mom when she gets out of jail. Just kidding, she's not in jail. I remember loving to take the layaway boxes from Zody's...remember Zodys? and make little boxes out of them. I have no idea why I liked to do that. Looking back, that was really weird. Yup, really weird. I used to LOVE to eat Flix (kind of a flat Hershey's Kiss) with a mouthful of cold milk. They are making the Flix candy again. Too bad I can't eat chocolate anymore. I loved riding my Big Wheel. I loved that thing. I loved going to a restaurant that was just down the street from our house, Arturo's. Arturo's is still there and I'm going to have dinner there this Saturday! I loved going to the grocery store (Market Basket) with my mom. Remember that place? I think I liked to go so I could get Flix. I used to love going to Harbor Park and catch tadpoles. That was the best! I used to love watching the after school specials on channel 7. I think they were on channel 7. Ironically, I didn't really like school that much and I sure didn't like to read. In fact, I hated both. I was such a bad boy. I remember my third grade teacher telling my mom I had "no self control." Mr. Third Grade Teacher, if you are reading this blog, I want to apologize for all the horrible things I did to you during that third grade year: throwing erasers at you when your back was turned, hiding your shoes when you took your daily nap during math time, not paying attention to your teaching, talking probably way too much, getting out of my seat and chatting up my friends right in the middle of your teaching, and other stuff I've forgotten but I'm sure was extremely entertaining to my classmates. So very sorry. Perhaps if you had engaged me in learning, showed you cared about me, and had given me a reason to be interested, I would have paid more attention in class and been more focused on learning and not caused you so much grief.
