My Earliest Memory
My earliest memory is from when I was about 5 years old. I have 8 siblings and I am the second youngest of the group, so some of my older brothers were starting college when I was still young. My oldest brother Josh left for his first year of college and was staying in the dorms there when I was only about 4 or 5. Sometime around Thanksgiving, after he had been at school for around 3 months, my brother came back for the weekend and the holiday. I remember hearing my mom talking to someone in the door way so I ran over to see who it was. But when I got there I didn't recognize this weird guy standing beside my mom at all. I remember tugging on my mom's pants leg and asking, "Who's the new guy?". My mom and brother started laughing and my mom tried to remind me that my brother Josh had gone away for a while and now he was back. My family still laugh at me to this day about the event.

That's funny. I imagine he did something to his appearance.
ReplyDeleteThis was a good story about not recognizing your big brother when he first came back home for a visit from college. "Who's the new guy?" really got my attention because now I'm curious as to how his appearance changed that drastically. Did he grow a beard or moustache? Was his hair a lot longer? With eight siblings, I bet you have lots more good stories to share!!
