My class started in the afternoon so I would stay home, my mom would drop me at my grandma and aunt’s house for breakfast, cartoons, getting ready while she went to work.
I went to school for lunch and just remember enjoying rug time and learning numbers and colors and singing with my friends. We had “center” time and each center had a theme of toys (kitchen, cars/trucks, blocks, I forget the rest) and I remember having so much fun using my imagination for each center - trying to channel more excitement similar to when I was 4/5 again at the age of 26 :)

I think I was like four or so? Mom was in discipliinary mode for some reason (being a "hard mommy") and so I took off down the street when she wasn't paying attention and hung out with the lady who occasionally babysat me and my kid brother. Vivid memory of watching Merrie Melodies cartoons in the front room/living room when mom came rolling in and looked like she wanted to kill me. This was olden times LBC and I'm pretty sure we were living in what ultimately became Crips territory -- wasn't so scary then but would be years later.
