Jenna Theisen --Earliest Memory/Dream

I decided to write about Amberly's blog about her son and the spider in the window. I liked this memory because it reminded me of my earliest memory. When her son first noticed the spider in the window, he wasn't scared. It is only because his parents made him aware of how the spider can bite him that he made a connection to fear. This little boy sounds adorable. However, if they did not warn him about this evil creature in the window, he probably would not have a fear for it. Now the poor child will probably be terrified for life and maybe not evil remember why.

EARLIEST MEMORY-- I was about three years old and I was sent to bed for "nap" time. I never have been able to take naps. I would lie there for an hour and stay completely awake. I was lying on the bottom bunk in my room when I heard a noise. I had never heard that sound before and grew curious. The noise was a buzzing sound and it would be loud and then disappear. I realized the noise was coming from the top bunk, my brother's bed. Being the curious child I was, I climbed the ladder attached to the bed and ascended to the world of complete terror. Not knowing why this little creation flying about the room was making so much noise, I reached out to grab it. OUCH!!! You guessed it. I had grabbed a bee. Not only was it a bee, but it was a yellow jacket! I screamed and yelled and thought I was going to die. My mother ran into the room and while comforting me, told me I had been stung by a bee and that I should not try to touch it. Ever since this horrific and scary event, I have been scared of bees.

LATEST DREAM-- I had a wild dream last night. I dreamt my best friend from childhood came to a football game with me. I haven't seen her in years and she hadn't changed a bit. She was still the same size and age I last saw her. We talked and had a lot of fun. Then something happened and the game was cancelled and I was supposed to get back to work. I work at the stadium on campus and my boss was yelling at me, telling me to clean up all this mess. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. All of my coworkers were there watching me clean up all this mess. Then out of the blue I noticed the reason the game was cancelled. There was a big tornado-ish thing in the sky and was destroying the stadium. I ran inside to where all the other people were and my small friend. When I got inside, I noticed it was a mall. The shops were all open and I was trying to get people out of the building. No one would listen. I then was randomly in a car chase going downhill on a windy road. I could hear my boss in the background asking if I was planning on coming back to work later. Then I woke up.
