Graduating Kindergarten 1971
Sunset Baptist Church, Sunset Lane, Little Rock, Arkansas
That's me in the brown suit. I remember a few things at Sunset Lane, like playing in the gravel rocks around the swing sets. Also, collecting Easter eggs in the play ground area.
To this day, if I smell the scent of liquid pine-sol, it brings me back to my kindergarten days. Every day after lunch we took naps on old four legged cots, while the cafeteria was mopped. I thought this had to be the cleanest place on earth.
Once, and I mean once, I remember my mom putting fingernail polish on me the night before school. I didn't think much of it at the time, bur remembered I had it on the next morning. At lunch I kept one hand under the table and the other grasped my fork so my fingernails wouldn't show. That was a a bad day.
One time I took the shoe strings out of my shoe and the teacher got upset, because I couldn't remember what I did with them.
