I’m using the ’52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History’
series authored by Amy Coffin as an aid in starting
my personal history throughout the year.
See the entire challenge on my Examiner.com article.
I want to leave my OWN
story in my own words so my posterity will be able to know me a little better.
Perhaps you’d like to do the same.
Here are some of my memories about TROUBLE.
As a child, I was not inclined to trouble. My dad and sometimes my mom would be stern
with me. Sometimes I even got a
spanking. In general, however, I did not
want to disappoint my parents, and that was motivation for me to behave.
I do have ONE memory that stands out above the others,
though. I was about five and my dad had
just finished painting our very large living room. He distinctly told me not to touch the wet
paint, but I did. Right next to the
doorway was MY HANDPRINT. I had paint
all over my hand, but wanted to hide it.
I don’t remember all the specifics now, but I do remember my dad was
kind about it, and I was okay. I was so
mortified that I’d done such a thing that seemed so permanent, that I was very
grateful to receive a kind and understanding response.
