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?"

Date: Jan. 25th, 2007 03:10 am (UTC)I do have a related memory, though it's more amusing than poignant: My sister and I were staying at our paternal grandparents' house, and I don't know where my grandfather was at this particular time, but the other three of us were sitting on the couch watching SeaQuest: DSV (the only episode I'd ever seen, actually) when the show was interrupted by footage of O.J. Simpson being chased by police down the highway. LOL. It was on every channel we checked, and it stayed on even though nothing was happening. We never found out what happened in that SeaQuest episode.
