Out with the old

 

That moment as you survey the scene having to stand attentively seeing what is before you.

 You and it are so acquainted you just bend over the desk as he pulls your skirt over you back and pulls your knickers right down ready to set your bottom on fire with a junior cane

Comics of my youth

We read these comics whenever it rained in our junior school and we were unable to play as they were kept in a big cardboard box and shared at recess.

Here's another long gone we read:

That one's more of a boys comic but it didn't matter that much when you couldn't play out back then.

Up and ready

It is definitely the case with me I am not the earliest of people when it comes to getting up in morning having been asleep overnight.

Sometimes it can be issues around my ability to get to sleep and not read or use a computer in bed that's the problem - something I share with today's children - and sometimes it is because I tire easily and so wake up lacking much of the energy.

Additional things with me include waking up with powerful migraines and vertigo so I may feel sick.

Caring for me includes helping me with all of this.

With your help I may be ready to go in the dorm.

Reading up on the past

One of my stronger memories of my official childhood is reading, not that I was what you might call a good reader but we did have a fair number of books in the house and stored in a big wooden toy box were some of mine, usually those my Mom thought I'd outgrown.
A good example of which is this one which was really a book for seven to ten year olds that stayed in that box well into my mid teens.

It's a series of two short stories of a group of young children called Benji, Jack and Jane plus dog who have to move together with their parents and their adventures through play with other children and grown ups.
Its very innocence, the clear lessons shown about appropriate behaviour such as owning up if you do something and clear consequences for wrong doing are woven into a fun set of adventures.
It was really that I before I knew the terms I was looking for even in my mid teens as what I now know as regression was even then a part of what made me different than most of my peers not least in my own mind I WAS that younger child.
 It was why I kept the books and puppets from that era.
