On Young Children

I started this task with looking up the word fact, defined as “something that actually exists; reality; truth.” Yet, somedays I do wonder if anything other than the moment I’m living in is actually the truth or fact! So many things that happen in the past seem to become changed over time, but here goes anyways, a few past and presentfacts:

1) I love pop country music! Only a weird fact if you know me — I appear (and actually do love) to be someone who should love folk music, and such music as Moody Blues. But, Garth Brooks does make my heart sing!

2) I dislike grits and hominy (smells like Ajax to me).

3) My life would be easier with short hair and my aging face would probably look less aging, but I hate fussing with hair; so I keep my hair long and braided (most of the time).

4) I love books and am an eclectic reader. (My husband and I have over 5000 volumes in the house.)

5) I have no fear of the house collapsing due to those 5000 books.

6) I love to cook and entertain.

7) I’m often more frightened of life than I appear to be.

Writing this up is a good learning for me. I teach adults in community college and I often play a warm up game during the first class or two where you take from a toilet paper roll as many sheets as you “normally use.” You then have to tell that many random facts about yourself. Fun, silly, but not as easy as it appears.
