Back

When I was younger..
I asked "Mummy, why is the moon following me?"
When I was younger...
I said "Mummy, the 1998 Miss Teen USA is Miss PENYSlavania" instead of Pennsylvania.
When I was younger..
I asked "Daddy, why are you scolding me?"
When I was younger...
I said "When I grow up, I want to be the bangla who collects rubbish"
When I was younger...
I looked at trees and said "Why aren't you talking to me?"
When I was younger...
I spent hours nosing in the store room, searching for remnants of my parents' pasts.
When I was younger...
I thought babies came out through the belly button.
When I was younger...
I went to a catholic kindergarten.
When I was younger...
I spent 2 hours squatting in my grandfather's garden watching ants build their nest.
When I was younger...
I asked my grandmother "Why are there bad people in this world?"

Alas. We all WERE young.
