This last week while I was away, my cousin Jen and I went and got a chick flick (Catch & Release - not that great... wouldn't recommend it... Jen and I talked about all the things we would have done differently if we had written the movie. But that is beside the point. :) and got junk food - candy, chocolate. I found some of that shoelace licorice on sale - you know the green ones, I think they are mint, though I'm not sure. And memories came back. We both agreed that you cannot eat them without putting knots of some sort in them and I immediately began to "crochet" one when we got back in the car. This is something that Kim and I used to do when we were about 11 years old, I remember sitting in her room in their trailer and getting taught how to do it and them eating them all down. It is a little insane that you would play with something that you are going to eat like that, but somehow it seemed like the thing to do then and it still does now. I couldn't not do it. So Kim, do you still crochet your licorice shoestrings? :)
What are memories that unexpectedly have come flooding back to you of things you did when you were young?

Hey Rayna, I'm sorry to report that I haven't crocheted my licorice shoestrings for quite sometime, but I might have to try it again for old times sake! :) It's neat that you would remember that. I find a lot of memories come back in the little rhymes and jokes that my kids come home from school with, some things never change!
