Oh Robert, I Loved You

Did you know how much I adored you?

Did you know that all these years later I can remember specific moments we spent together as clearly as the crisp days they occurred.

Maybe the memories seem clearer than they are because I have photos tucked away in an album. There I am looking at you with a big smile. Or there's the one where we're playing not realizing we're being photographed.

*sigh*

I had such a thing for older men then.

Or was it your twin brother Richard. It was always hard to tell you apart. Who knows. I was only five.

This memory is brought to you thanks to my friend Jennifer who was remember her own Robert today.

I was ready to close down my facebook account when I saw Armando "Mondy" Rodriguez and his wife and his FOUR kids...

He was my kindergarten crush. I do believe kicking him in the shins was the game.

Jennifer said...

*sniff* Young love. Funny how memory fails us.

My imaginary husband was Jeff.

We had imaginary couple friends, Rod and Suzy Zanger.

If only our love lives could be so simple these days! :)

Ha! I just came from another blog talking about pre-marriage bad dates, and I thought this was one. REally pre-karriage :-)

I don't know if I can remember my first crush... I think it may have been Shaun Cassidy... especially when he was Joe Hardy on The Hardy Boys...

The other 2nd graders didn't stand a chance.

I so wanted to see Miss Howard in a bikini when I was in 1st grade. She had kick ass feathery Farrah Faucet hair and big boobies. I could have made her happy on my big wheel or my more styling banana seat red sparkley Schwinn Stingray.
