I'm sorry, I've lost my mind I'm pretty sure I took drugs when I was a teenager. This may come as a shock to some of you that know me. I was a good girl growing up. Never did anything wrong, but flunk geometry and have to take it over. But this is the only reason I can think of why I can't remember things from my childhood. My sister is always bringing up things she remembers me doing, and I can never remember doing them. "Don't you remember when we were on the ferry, and these people were smoking, so you coughed loudly and sang 'We mind very much if you smoke!'?" Uh, I don't remember ever doing that. "How about that doll you had that ate from a spoon?" I remember wanting a doll like that, but I don't remember having a doll like that. Then she'll confirm it with my mother, which leaves me confused. Am I missing brain cells, and if so- what's the cause? I blame drugs. I don't remember ever taking drugs, so I blame that on amnesia. I blame the amnesia on my sister, who probably got mad at me one day, and hit me on the head so hard, it knocked me out, and messed up my head. We did share a room for a long time, and I did wet the bed. Maybe she was mad at that. I should be mad at her, but I choose to forgive. I do remember odd things. Like the frog up there ^. I remember cutting off his eyelids because he always looked tired. I shaped them into eyebrows, so he'd be happier like "Freddy" on The New Zoo Revue. Or, I remember what that lion used to say before he broke. You pull the string and he'd say "Be kind to animals" and "I'm Rufus the Lion, Grrrrrrrr!" I remember my favorite teddy bear, can't ever forget him. Even if I had one brain cell left, it would contain a memory of him. It does trouble me when she brings up things, and I can't remember. I think...is she making this up? How could I have forgotten that? I gaze at my arms- no track marks. I look up my nose...nothing but hair. Wouldn't the nose hair be gone if I had snorted stuff? What's left? Can you drink drugs? Maybe it was the listerine. I tried not to swallow any, because of the warning on the bottle, but perhaps it just collected in there, and somehow the vapors got into my brain. Perhaps I should sue listerine for causing brain damage. Maybe all the money I could get, would recover my memories. Yeah, that's it.
