I dont know why this popped into my head but it did.
Sometimes parents just out of the blue do something extra special when you are a kid growing up. I'm sure we all have many memories of things our parents as a couple did for us (if you had both parents still together), but what about when only ONE parent did something extra special for you?
The one that stands out in my mind was when I was probably 6 or 7.
It was summertime and my mom showed me some toy that The Broadway was selling that was a Noah's Ark with all sorts of little plastic animals in it.
I asked, meekly because my parents usually ALWAYS said no when I asked for anything, "Can I have that?"
Mom asked back, "Are you sure you'd like that?"
I replied, "Yes please".
So, we basically dropped everything and drove to The Broadway in Panorama City, marched to the childrens department (they didn't have a toy department per se, just a kids department with mostly clothes) and bought that Noahs Ark. I tell you, I felt like the most special kid on the planet right there
What about you? Any one time special moments with one of your parents you'd like to share with the rest of us Amazing Larry?! Ooops, sorry, Pee Wee moment
