On my way home from work American Pie came on the radio.
I sang along.
It reminds me of my high school drama class. Ms. M, our drama teacher played the song
in class one day. All of us were sitting on the stage as we listened to the song. She wanted us to feel the words. Most of the students in the class began crying. I didn't. So I felt out of place, questioned why I wasn't crying.......wondered if I was normal.
And then I thought, I guess I could act. I mean it was drama class. I could cry even though the song didn't really touch me in that kind of way. So I made myself cry. I wanted to fit in.............
I wonder how many of them were faking it!
Bunch of freaks. lol
Tomorrow is Fathers Day.
I found an old picture of me and my dad tossing an egg in the egg toss competition at his companies picnic. I was 12 or 13. I was very competitive as was my dad.
We really, really, really wanted to win.
And we did win!
It was a great moment for me. I hope it was for my dad too!
Thinking about making a copy of the picture for my dad.
