Yes, it’s a new year.

And yes, we’re still doing this…

I must have been 3 1/2 because I was born in December and started nursery school early.

I remember all the children had to bring in something to sleep on for nap time. And while the other kids were given a pillow or blanket from home…my mother, being the uber mom she was…. went to FAO Schwartz and purchased a fantastically plush Humpty Dumpty egg shaped rug. It was perfect and I loved it.

I have vague memories of the other children being jealous and trying to take it from me on repeated occasions. Being a shy child, they often succeeded which resulted in my tear stained face and the teacher asking my mother to give me something less grand and envy provoking.

Which now that I think about it was a pretty lousy lesson. How about teaching my thieving little classmates to respect other people’s property instead.

🤣

Now you….

What’s your earliest memory?
