Childhood Memories four

I was in the first grade, in Mrs.
Lindstrom’s class

and every morning, probably
around ten-thirty, we would have

snack-time. And everyone would
get their snacks that their mommies

made for them, and we’d all
sit and eat. But me and Lori

Zlotow, we would take our math
books, hold them up like a tray,

throw a napkin over our arms,
put all of our snacks on our books,

and walk around the room
bartering for better snacks. I’ll

give you this apple for your
candy bar. We’d finish trading,

come back with a quarter of an
orange, an extra piece of gum.

We’d put the orange quarter in
our mouths, peel and all, and

act like monkeys. And laugh.
