I Remember (the time...)

I remember my cousins and I eating breakfast at my grandma's house where I lived.
I remember Nintendo games.
I remember falling asleep doing homework and then staying up past my bedtime.
I remember having 13 pets and forgetting to take care of them.
I remember holding my little brother when he was an infant.
I remember girls wanting to play in my hair.
I remember knowing about sex when I was younger than 10 years old.
I remember my mom admitting to me that she was depressed with her life and it affecting me.
I remember Cabbage Patch Kids.
I remember playing tag with about 15 other kids in the Dallas, Texas apartment complex I lived in.
I remember crying to my mom when we found out the tumor I had was cancerous and I didn't understand if that meant I would die.
I remember the first time I was completely stressed and it being due to a relationship.
I remember the first times I smoked.
I remember a friend's girlfriend dying and it meant so much to me that I wanted to go back to being care-free as I had been all my life.
I remember being one of the first people to laugh and smile in many situations.
I remember my mom visiting me at my dad's house for the first time. I grew up with her and moved in with him when I was about 20 years old. This was monumental because she came to tell me in person that my grandmother passed away.
I remember my grandma raising me for a large part of my life.
I remember being way too shy to make friends.
I remember my Easy Bake Oven.
