Thank you Mom

 I remember the game.

I remember a blue Bambi blanket.

And I remember a blue bowl with fudge in it.

I am not quite sure what I was doing before Mom came in the room. I do know I was with my sisters. Mom walked into the room with a big blue Bambi blanket. She spread it out all over the floor.

She told us to get on it. We did.

"This is a boat. Do not get off the boat. No matter what. Or the sharks will get you."

I rememeber thinking what a fun game this was going to be. I am sure somewhere in the staying I fell asleep, all part of her master plan, I am sure.

The next thing I remember was waking up to my mom mixinf fudge in a blue metal bowl.

Such an odd, random memory. What can we learn from it?

If you are a tired, probably pregnant mother, just lay out a blanket and make it into a game. And when you wake up, it's okay to have chocolate.

Now that is sure to make a lasting memory. It did for me.
