Early Memory
One of my
earliest memories
is when my
aunt made me a birthday cake
with red
roses and green lettering.
She held it
down low so I could see it.
I said, “It
looks delicious.”
She and Mom
laughed,
expressing
their surprise
at me saying
such a big word.
I wondered, “How
stupid do they think I am?”
Ever after,
I wonder if there are times
when I make
a child feel that way.
