Today, I offer up the prose of my ten year old daughter, Hannah. Enjoy!
1998 –2008 My First Ten Years
A memoir by Hannah Roberts
There were a lot of things I couldn’t do when I was little.
When I was 5 the deep end of the pool was dark, mysterious, and scary to me.
Now I happily dive in.
When I was 6 I could only see the top of my head in the bathroom mirror.
Now I am almost as tall as my mom.
When I was 7 I couldn’t bounce a basketball without losing control.
Now I play on a basketball team called the Eagles.
When I was 8 I loved to play Barbies with my friends. Now I think Barbie dolls are kinda dumb.
When I was 9 I cried about my dog dying…. yeah I’d still do that!
Now I am 10 and I know that friendship means we stick together no matter what, my parents may not always know what they’re doing, and even if I can’t do a lot of things, I can learn how.
