Then and Now
Years and years ago, before the internet blog was created, people had these things called diaries or journals, books that they would write their thoughts in (with pens) to share with themselves at a later date or to share with their posterity. I’m going to get a little personal now and share some diary entries of mine from years ago. Please excuse my spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. I was just a kid (Oh, and when the random number 36 comes up, it refers to the bus number).
4/15/88 Friday
Today I get to go to London school. I can’t wait. It will be so much fun. We’re on bus, 36 and I’m sitting by Juliette and the bus is starting now. We just went by Tracy’s house. Bam! Bam!
4/15/88
Today at London School we got to see two jugglers. Steven and Carol. They were great and funny. Hee! Hee!
6/9/88 Thurs.
Yesturday it was Steven’s birthday and a clown came to our school and Steven turned 8 yesturday and the clown’s name was: Dudly the magic clown. Next Tuesday we get to go watch them put up the tent at the circus. I was sick today and I slept most of the day
So, back in 1988, I thought it was great when we got to see jugglers or clowns perform for school assemblies. I had no idea that 20 years later (give or take- I have been doing it for a few years), I would be the juggler/clown.
Reminiscing to not as many years ago, I would go with BYU’s juggling club to do school assemblies, and after getting married, my husband and I would do school assemblies together.
Based on my experiences, I’d like to ask a question: What things from your childhood did you enjoy, but never expect you’d be doing as an adult? Please leave a comment.
