The Memory Game

[Michelle]

This is similar to the "Word Association" game where you post a word and the next person replies with the first word that pops into their heads. Except this is with a memory you had. I'll start it off, then the next person posts a memory that pops into their minds.

When I was about 6-8 years old, I used to take swimming lessons with 2 other friends of mine and we would always walk to the YMCA together. I was never able to swim the full length of the pool.

When I was a young boy, I took swimming lessons, and still to this day cannot dive properly. No one knows why...

When I took swimming lessons, there was some kid that ranted about how santa would give him presents and the easter bunny gave him candy. He wanted candy from santa and presents from the easter bunny... XD

I used to go Easter egg hunting with the Lauers . But we could only get a certain amount of eggs to make it fair for everyone. It was fun time lol

My family has a massive Easter egg hunt every year. Two golden eggs are hidden extra carefully around our house, and the finders get special prizes. Punches have been thrown.

I remember playing pac man world or whatever on the gamecube and you would get a golden fruit everytime you beat one of the bosses. It looked yummy.

I remember sucking at pac man...

I remember playing Pacman World 2 and yelling "RIP OFF ARTIST" everytime I get the Metal Pacman power

I remember a level in Mario 64...I think it was part of Hazy Maze Cave...there was a dinosaur-like creature swimming around in an underground lake, and you needed the metal cap to walk on the bottom to do something. The metal cap kept wearing off before I could reach it and it was a bother.

My brother used to speak fluent Japanese when we first moved here and he was 3. He can barely understand it and doesn't speak it at all now...

I remember when I was a child and couldn't understand the complexities of the English language.
I still don't.

When I was in the first grade, I had to take speech therapy because I couldn't pronounce "th" or "sk" right. I still can't say "ask" or "asked" right >.<;

All throughout Elementary school I had to take an ESOL class. Which is where kids who come from another country and learn English at a slow pace. It was fun I guess. I refused to take that class during Middle School though cause the teacher was getting a bit irritating...

I remember when I was a wee lad, my parents would ask me if I could hear the airplanes that flew above our house with the phrase, "Hear it? Hear it?"

One day I ran to the window, pointed at the metallic craft in the sky and promptly titled it "HEARIT! HEARIT!"

[Kriven]

I remember walking home from school one time and seeing an airplane so low to the ground I could make out the landing gear.

Thought my house was about to asplode.
