Return of Memoryfest - Day 23/31
23. Elementary School
The first and possibly only time I stayed overnight at my aunt and uncle's house, I slept in my cousin R.'s room in a sleeping bag on the floor. She had a poster of a Tyrannosaurus Rex animatronic model from some museum that loomed over us on the opposite wall. What I remember most vividly about that night is both of us going up to her room at bedtime, getting into bed, and R. turning off the light. When she did that I asked her, surprised and with a little pang of homesickness or loneliness or disappointment, "Don't your parents tuck you in?"
