GO!!!

Most things begin with an itty bitty thing, and an itty-bitty thing can stop or start an entire process. For instance, both the male sperm and the female egg are so small that no human eyesight can see them; they are itty-bitty things, both required for procreation.

The beginnings of most things, good or bad, are itty-bitty things. Most arguments and disagreements begin with an itty bitty thing. Most affairs or marriages begin do.; a sideward glance held a fraction of a second longer than necessary, a casual brush of clothing, a hello with a bit more bounce per ounce, a smile.

Itty-Bitty things.

When you find out the true story, you discover that most divorces begin with itty-bitty things. What kids will remember most about their early childhood will be an itty-bitty thing to an adult.


What itty bitty thing do you remember in childhood/teenagehood that ended up making the biggest impact on your life?


HAVE FUN - And remember, inappropriate comments will be promptly deleted.

God bless.

What I remember is leaving home and going to stay with my grandmother. My aunt and her family lived there too.

I was coming down from upstairs when I heard my name mentioned, so I stopped to listen. I heard my aunt ask my Gran, "So have you been having any trouble with Rose?" Gran said, "No, nothing that's not normal for a kid her age." My aunt said, "I haven't either. I can't understand why Mary and Ray always say she's such a bad kid when what she does is normal for a kid her age." Gran agreed.

Up til that point, I had never considered myself "normal." I thought I was bad and that nothing I'd ever do would make me any better. I thought that no matter how hard I tried, I'd always be bad, so why even try.

Hearing them say I was "normal" changed my life because I realized there was a reason to keep trying.

GL -

My cousin Jack jumped on a landmine in Nam to save the lives of the rest of his platoon.

I also lost several high school classmates in Nam.

I joined the Marines because my dad was a former Marine, but why I joined the military was to see if Jack had died in vain.

Except for saving the lives of almost a dozen other men, he had, thanks to good old LBJ.

God bless.

When I was 14, my 21 year old neighbor, who I had always looked up to and admired, went missing in action in Vietnam. I had never had any interest in the military, but right then I decided "what right to I have to sit here comfortably at home while by friend is half way round the world putting his life on the line?" So on my 17th birthday, with my Dad's signature I enlisted in the Marines. As soon as I graduated high school I was gone.

PA -

That would certainly do it, wouldn't it.

God bless.

watching my super bright, handsome-17 year old neighbor get taken away in a hearst because he OD on drugs when I was 8 years old.

whatelse -

Umhmmm.

But what one little thing impacted your life?

God bless.

holycow -

I hope not.

I'd like to think the majority of us here on GOLO are adults, but yeah - sometimes that's like spitting into a windstorm.

God bless.
