 #childhoodmemory

in my neighborhood, there was fire hydrant spraying directly into the street. my mother rolled the windows down in her car and let the fire hydrant spray the inside of the car as we drove by...

i remember laughing so much

i also remember a big hole in the floor of her car, probably cause of activities like that

 Fun! 
 thinks for the memory reminder, made me think of that because my mom would smoke in the car.

when she was pregnant and i was five, i yelled at her to give me her cigarettes, and i tore them in half. i am surprised she let me do that at that age. i guess i am spoiled. i was looking out for her and the baby. 

i still yell at her.  
 It's so funny to see/smell/hear something and have such vivid recollection. Smoking in the car when it was raining was the worst. I'm glad my dad quit, he had a really bad cold or upper respiratory infection and coughed so much he couldn't for a few days and that was that. 

Good on you for looking out for her and the baby 🫂💜
