What kind of kid were you?


Not talking about the elementary years where you are too young and still learning basic life survival skills or the high school years when you are a baby-adult testing your ideology as it forms. I’m talking about the middle school years. The years when you are still a kid but starting to form your own personality.
Did the kids come by and ask you to come out to play ball because you were a jock? Were you invited to tea parties and gossip? Did kids hang out at your house because you had the best toys? Did you dad entertain the kids with stories of the war or mess with his car or miniaturize train? Would everyone come by lunchtime because your mom baked great cookies?
Think about those summer vacations when you didn’t have to go to a building with a bunch of strangers. What did you do? Who did you hang around with?
Do you wish you were that same kid?
