bironic: Neil Perry gazing out a window at night (memories)

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?"

Ah, crap. I've made myself cry. Boogers. I miss Nan. :: uses sad Maggie Smith icon in which Maggie Smith looks remarkably like Nan, which does not help the crying ::

I'm sorry you were sad. :( That's a very sweet memory.
