My first day of school I was so excited because I got to ride the bus to school and my sister wanted to go with me. My mother told her no and she started to rip the flowers or leaves off this bush we had close to the end of the driveway. My mom took a picture of that and a picture of me as I’m getting on the bus.
There was the day of the tornado, my sister and I were playing in our little pool and all of a sudden it got really grey outside, quiet, still. Mom called us inside that day; (I think you could see the tornado off in the distance) and we had to come quick. That was the night I remember waking up from sleeping in a clothes basket, I think it was white and I may have had a blanket in there with me.
The basement was pretty bare, but there was a half finished bathroom my dad had started and there were sliding glass doors out to the patio and back yard from the basement. We had a swing set in the back yard and at the end of the fence there was corn or wheat, not sure which and we use to sled down the hill in the back yard too. It was huge, I;m not even sure how dad mowed the lawn in the summer. I loved that hill.
Off the back of the carport my dad built a storage shed to store tools, rakes, shovels, the lawn mower, etc. in the storage area. It had three doors and it may have had the numbers 1, 2 & 3 on the doors. My dad said he had help building it, but I don't remember that part.
There was this one time I was sitting at the dining table and choking on a fish or chicken bone. I was having a hard time breathing and getting mom and dad's attention because I was the only one sitting at the table. My mom had me eat a piece of bread or drink some water after I got their attention and I was all right.
Summer was always great to me as a kid, playing with your friends, just having fun. Well, apparently I thought it would be a good idea to not wear underwear and I got an erection because of that. I went into the neighbors back yard. They weren't home and there was a bird bath in the back yard and they had a small porch off the back of the back and I think I went in there and took off my shorts half naked in the back yard of the neighbors house. I also think there was a dog too and it licked my penis. I guess I was a a curious child exploring my sexuality even then. Who knew?!
The last memory I have of Des Moines is driving away from it. It was dark and my sister and I were in the back seat. I wanted to go home and mom kept saying we are going home, to a new home. I didn't want to go there so I said, "No! To my other home." I can't remember what my mom said to that, however, I truly did not understand the concept of moving and I didn't want to do it.
