building memories

Every day is an opportunity to build memories. These memories will sustain us when we are old and will make our life colorful and eventful, and, therefore, will have the prolonging effect.
I think that our family is very good at building memories, but perhaps not so great at recording them. I am trying to fix that every time i sit down to recollect and to write. Sometimes i am apprehensive because some recent memories may not connect into a story, and may not lend themselves to be put together in a coherent post. Right now i am deciding to try to jot down everything that i would like to recall later, in whatever form it happens to spill on the paper.

So, here it goes:
This was a week after President's day. After the shower, an off-white head towel was placed on S's head, for drying purposes. She looked in the mirror and said: "look, i am George Washington". Hahahahahaha! Yeap, sure enough that towel does look like an old off-white wig!

Feb 29 was the leap day of the leap year. C came home, and said "Happy leap day - this will not happen in the next 4 years". My heart was filled with joy -- when we are celebrating everything, we are celebrating LIFE itself!

And, another one, from a while back: S shared her knowledge with us, fall 2011: "boys have penis" .
And, March 3, we were talking about something, with Sari in the room. The word "testicle" was said, and prompted S to share: "i have a little penis there inside". Wow... no comment to that one. Mind you, when i was little i thought (and hoped) that mine would eventually grow...
