  And This

  
  

   

  
  

  I remember this day; my parents took my sister and me on a road trip to Kitty Hawk and there was this hill and it was covered in little spiny plants.    After this photograph was taken, we ran up that hill; she in her shoes and me in those socks.  My socks soon filled with sharp points and I sat down to pull them out and then my bum had the spines so i rolled around to get my butt off the ground and became covered in one million needles on my back. 

  
  

  All of this because i was a very sharp kid.

  
  

  
   Later, I remember my mother laying me face down in the backseat of the Barracuda and cutting my plaid pants off so she could pull the spines out one by one by one.

  
  

  

  
  

   My sister loved that jacket and I remember she smelled like wheat and honey.
