I have written before about the fact that I live in my memories most of the time now! I am only saying that because last night when I was almost asleep, I had one of those memories! Really, it was about 2 o’clock this morning when I was falling to sleep.
At that time, I was just about asleep. My house was silent because I think that my Mom was already asleep. And was completely black except for the light shining through my window and through my blind.
I thought of this memory as I was just at the edge of sleep and I began to laugh out loud! Kind of for a while:
I asked my Mom the specifics about this memory but they are a little hazy because it’s from 20 years ago. I am not sure if I was pregnant or I already had Sean but my brother, Jimmy, came Over and I think my Dad had to be in the hospital and Sean was asleep? Either way, Jimmy, my Mom, and I were watching a documentary on the psychological differences between boys and girls.
A doctor or someone put it like this, “Girls, will stab you in the back. But boys will punch you in the face.“
I remember all three of us sitting there in silence for a moment and after a pregnant pause, my Mom said, ”NOT my girl!” After a moment, we all laughed and I added, “ “i’ll stab you in the face!“ which made my Mom and Jimmy laugh even harder!
I am sure that I have shared this memory before somewhere on my blog but I can’t find it now! Eight years of blogging is really adding up! For me, it was worth sharing because it delayed my falling to sleep because I was laughing too much, by myself, right as in the silence of my house!
