I guess I will tell you a childhood moment from my childhood. I played mother mary in our school Christmas play and I felt like a real actress.I was 8 but I thought I had hit fame and fortune.Sadly, it was the end of my acting career but I will always remember how special I felt.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite childhood moment was when my baby brother was born. I was 4 and I remember when the nurse brought him to me. At that moment, I felt like he was mine.
