RANDOM CHILDHOOD THOUGHT #1

When I was a child of about 6 years old

 I remember walking past some

hand prints on the sidewalk ....

I desperately wanted my hand print in cement like that.

So I asked my dad how to do it....

The cement has to be wet he said.

So......

I waited for the sprinklers to come on

and our sidewalk was wet, just like my dad said it should be.

Carefully I wrote my name, and placed my hands on the wet cement.

NOTHING.....

N.A.D.A.

I asked my dad why it wasn't working......

This kind of wet he explained.

Lesson learned.

Funny how this memory popped into my head this morning

as I was walking through sprinkler "wet" cement.

 I didn't try to write my name in it...

But I did walk through it and look back to see

my footprint.

I laughed to remember my 6 year old mind

Thinking that way.
