Oh jeez, I'm really bad at this posting consistently thing. I should like, make an appointment on my calendar for writing in this, and then maybe I'll actually do it.
So, here's a fun Easter memory from when I was a child. I don't know how old I was, probably 3 or 4. I also don't remember the exact setting, it was either some family friends or a petting zoo type of situation.
What I do remember is a big box of little baby chicks. And a bunch of children gathered around to hold the chicks. I remember getting my chance to hold a chick, but after only a few seconds several adults took it away, and they all seemed very concerned about something.
I was just sad that I couldn't hold the chick for very long at all. All the other kids had ample time to hold and love and cuddle their adorable little babies. I, for some reason, couldn't. It was very upsetting and I never forgot it.
Years later, probably when I was in my teens, I mentioned the incident to my mom, expressing confusion as to why my chick got taken away so quickly. She laughed and told me that I was holding that chick so tight, they thought I was going to squeeze it to death. She said it's eyes were bugging out. They took the chick away because they were concerned for its safety.
So there you have it. I was a chick squisher when I was a toddler. Happy Easter everyone!
