Child’s Play.

                12. Describe a childhood aliment. I was born with two pinky toes on my right foot, and an extra bone in each of my pinkies on my hands. My dad has really messed up feet too. I can remember him having like two sets of webbed toes. An extra pinky toe and like an extra middle toe or something. So I suppose my strange digits are hereditary. When I was about a year old I got my extra pinky toe removed. The Shriners in Saint Louis had the operation paid for, because my family couldn’t afford it. Then, the summer before 7^th grade I got my extra pinky bone in my left hand removed. The surgeon was really good. I had limited movement in my pinky before, and she said that after the surgery it may be the same. It turned out better after the surgery! I love my freaky pinkies!

                19. What was your biggest childhood accomplishment?  My biggest childhood accomplishment I had was in fourth grade. That year Hurricane Katrina hit the southern coast of the U.S. I always would watch the Nightly News with Brian Williams, and see the damage and I felt a need to help. I got the idea of putting a big culligan bottle in the cafeteria and see if people would donate money that we could give to the Red Cross. We raised over $400, which may not seem to be a lot but for Aurora, Mo. It’s good.

                20. When I didn’t feel safe as a child at my house I would just start walking. One time when I lived in the country, I was 6 or so, I woke up and my mom and sister wasn’t there, I just went out the front door and started walking. I walked down the road and into the woods, it was a great time, but then I got stung by a bee and went back home and waited for my mom to come home. After my mom, sister, and I moved into town we were just around 4 blocks away so I would walk there. It was a safe haven for me.

37. My favorite childhood movie was Edward Scissor hands. I loved the music. Also the subject matter was similar to my life. For years my hands have been criticized by people because they are not what they are supposed to be. I understand why he wants normal hands. I still love that movie.
