Gretna, Nebraska

• I was talking about how I've never been to my friend Debbie's house in Gretna, Nebraska.
• Mica said, "Well...we can go there, and to the pumpkin patch since it's right there too".
• I thought it was pretty funny that he remembers that the pumpkin patch is in Gretna, Nebraska. We hardly go, or talk about Gretna.
• Then Mica went on to say, "Daddy just don't wear that scary witch's mask like you did last time you went to the pumpkin patch"!
• How does this four year old remember these things that happened in the fall?
• I guess I remember things too. It's called a selective memory. I remember having a strawberry patch in our backyard, and my mom had completely forgotten about it. I remember how I broke my collar bone, when my Dad had forgotten how. I was only four years old when these things happened too.
• Funny how I can remember things well, but would fail just about every standardized test in school. I had to be in all the chapter one classes. I sure hope that Mica's not going to be like I was with that!
