It's Saturday Night -
time for more Genealogy Fun!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to:
1) Have you written your memoirs yet? If so, please share with us one story from your childhood. If not, then start your memoirs! The story could be a memory of your family life, your schoolwork, your neighborhood, etc. It doesn't have to be a certain length - just something you recall.
2) Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook. Be sure to leave a link to your work as a comment to this post.
Annual Turkey Trot
Every year, in elementary school, there was a Turkey Trot. It happened a few days-generally on a Wednesday, which is a half-day for us. Every grade level ( K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) goes outside during a specific time. When it was our time to go, we would leave the classroom and go to the basketball area. Each class would line up in a single file line.
To warm-up, we did exercises like jumping jacks, lunges, and stretches. After that, we did the chicken dance. Our school principal or assistant principal had a chicken costume on and danced along with us. It was always fun to do this yearly. Each class would get called out one by one to start running. I am not very fond of running- never was and probably never will. This likely contributed to the competition of students wanting to always win.
But during that time, it wasn't a big deal as we were just having fun. Parents could also attend. My mom came a few times, which was always nice.
Thanks for reading,
