3. Things that remind me of my childhood are, Sesame Street, taco salad (a rare treat my mom only made when in a good mood), a certain song my mom played on the piano when she was mad.
4. Things I love, but don't get to do often, Read a book for fun, nap, go to lunch with a girlfriend, get a massage.
