Favorite Childhood Memory

[Janet]

I remember one Sunday I was sitting on the front porch waiting for Mom and my brother to get ready for church. Mom always dressed us up for church and I was wearing a dress with one of those stiff petty coats that itched the daylights out of you if you sat for too long..lol. Anyway..a neighbor girl came outside while I was sitting there and I told her..."I'm prettier than you"...so bad. My mom who was in the house heard me and told me to get my butt in the house. Boy did I get a talking to over that remark. I wasn't very old, but I had to go apologize to the girl. I just felt pretty I guess...who know why kids do and say the things they do.
