classmates. I’m here to talk about childhood. What is childhood?

It was chilly Christmas Eve and the snow appeared to be absent that day. My lapdog Cesar and I were scooping out the raggedy trailer park for the ruthless Mexicans that were out to get us. They were armed with full autonomic air soft guns‚ four thousands bb’s. While we were armed with an autonomic air soft gun and pistol. As I was telling Cesar how incompetent he is‚ we were ambushed and forced to retreat into my fathers shed. Thanks to my lapdog Cesar for not looking out when I was giving my

Independence and Adulthood I was nourished with love from my umbilical cord in my mother’s warm womb‚ spoon fed when I was able to feed and hand held when I could walk; I was akin to my parents from my conception‚ as I was their child.

From a tender age‚ still being a mere
