day110, age 5

Day110, age five, I have to say I don't remember much from this period in my life, but there are three more things that I do remember, one of them is being slapped by a stranger after school, an adult, I don't remember what I did wrong but I do remember being slapped so hard across my face, and my mother screaming and yelling at this guy, I was actually scared for that guy, my mother was very angry. I also remember killing a pigeon, I didn't kill him on purpose, and I felt awful when I found him dead, we had an alley behind our house and there was ivy growing up the fence, there was a hole in the fence, a small one and I guess the bird made a nest in it, I saw the bird fly into the hole one day and used a piece of cardboard to trap the bird in there, I remember being very excited cause I caught a bird, I ran around and told everyone I knew but in a day or two I lost interest and forgot about him, when I checked on him a few days later he was dead, I felt really really bad and I took him out of that hole and hid him, I was so worried that someone would find out I killed him, I didn't do it on purpose but I felt super guilty, no one ever asked me about it though. I also remember the girl that lived downstairs, we used to hide in the closet and do things kids aren't supposed to do, look at each other naked, that kind of stuff. There's one more thing I remember, sitting at the kitchen table, my mother was dating, and I said something I guess I shouldn't of said, she slapped me, I don't remember why, or even who I was talking to, I just remember not knowing why, and feeling humiliated, I believe I might have been six by this time and I was shipped off to Tennessee to stay with my father. More about Tennessee tomorrow, James
