Being seven, can be very arkward. You're no longer cute and cuddley anymore, but your still far from being grown up. At seven, I was still my Mom's charge. Wherever she went, I had to follow.
I was
strangest little Kid. I wasn't interested in anything. Every thing just seemed to be a bore, and I couldn't understand why I was a little Kid.
My Mom was always losing me. She would make me go shopping with her, and I would think, "oh, more shopping, I'm going to sleep."
So, I would crawl under a display or something and go to sleep.
After a while, all
sales girls would be on
alert whenever I would walk into a department store, because they knew I was going to find some place to hide away. But
worst place was
sand box.
Whenever my Mom would take me to
sand box, I would think, "oh, no, I have to be around all those Kids that think this is fun."
I mean after putting
sand in your pail once,
thrill is gone.
So of course, I would go right to sleep in
sandbox. But
ultimate low was Kindergarten. All of these kids playing with little blocks and making a mess with all those crayons. I went right to sleep on that.
The teacher would say to my Mom, "I don't understand your Son, he refuses to stay awake in my class."
I thought, "oh, let me hurry and grow up. Life as a little Kid, is just too boring."
I mean really, I felt like I had nothing in common with
junior set. Then, this was almost a bright note.
Someone from a modeling agency noticed me sound asleep in
sandbox one day and said to my Mom, "Your Son is really handsome, I would like to model him."
I thought, "hey, that might be interesting."
But no. My Mom said, "I want my Son to have a normal childhood and not have to grow up with cameras everywhere."
I thought, "Mom, are you crazy? I can be a star here. And anyway. What kind of a normal childhood is this that I'm having? Everything bores me."
