(I will enter a new picture here, sadly I do not have one at the moment)
Well,
by the time I was about 9 months old, we had moved out of Sally's home,
moved out of the little apartment that we moved in in Orem (we were in
the basement apartment home of my mom's husband's older sister's home)
When my mom had found she was pregnant with her third child.
What
my mom did not realize then, and sometimes now, is the third child she
would have was not only the spawn of the Devils Daughter but also a
Sociopath. (That is under exaggeration)
What would her pseudo name be? Let me think... Chimera
That took about ten seconds :)
Chimera was a big brown eyed baby and my mom was smitten with her from the day she was born.
My
mom and her dad gave her everything. She cried a lot. I remember my mom
painting her crib when she was born or just before. I could not figure
out why she wanted it white when it was yellow. I recall walking by it
one time when my mom was putting lambs on it... You know those 1970's
decorative decals that you have have to use water and sort of decoupage
it, I remember my mom doing that to this Crib. At the time I did not
know what they were. They were cute lambs but I remember they were lambs
because I was a lamb for Halloween and thinking... I am the animal on
Chimera's crib.
I was about 13 months when my mom said she started potty training me
because I was ready. I was saying full sentences by the time I was 14
months old and I was about 16 months old when I ran to the toilet and
sat down, but had waited to do pee, so I missed the toilet and peed all
over the floor right near the toilet. I sat down anyway thinking maybe I
had time to get some more pee in the toilet. Mom came in. "Leena? What
happened?" without skipping a breath, I said, "Oh, mom! A huge Monster
came in here and peed all over the floor!" The story was said with so
much conviction, my mom could have never made up the story herself. "A
Huge monster,really?" "Oh, yes, momma. He was a big monster." Wondering
how far I would take the story, momma asked me, "It is that the truth, Dee?"
and with that question, the tears and sincere heart
felt admission, "My bottom did it mommy, my bottom!"
This
is a good time to mention that my older sister D, and I were best
friends and we were constantly playing, just like big sister and little
sister. She was and still is the biggest influence for the best and my
best friend, my best everything. I always looked up to her and loved her
with all my heart.
One day, I do not remember this but my mom does, Danae came in to ask
my mom for a match for her "fire things". "Fire things?" asked om with a
little bewilderment. "Yes," said Danae in a matter of fact,
nonchalantly. "Can I see your fire things?" and with that mom was taken
outside with me as a 2and a half year old culprit... or partner in
crime. There in the back yard on a slab of concrete was a pile of
leaves, dried, sticks, twigs,and various other flammable items. Indeed
they were "Fire Things" as D indicated.Mom was excellent as
deterring D (at that age) for more productive uses. "Why don't you
have a picnic with Dee?" the idea was a hit for me myself and my sister. Of course I had no clue that I was supposed to be given 50% of the food, and I was just excited to be with my big sister having a picnic. Even to this day, I do not care. I love being around my sister.
D is still someone I hold in the highest regard.
