I will always have the memories of spending alot of time at my uncle Clarence and Aunt Carolyn's house it was like a second home to me. They was the ones that gave me my childhood nick name that has followed me for as long as I can remember "ANIMAL" I can hear him calling me that as I share this memory .. man he loved to tease me. I always knew I was loved that way .. seemed like the more he teased you the more he loved you. He would come home after working long hours and ask me in a joking voice... you again ANIMAL .. don't you have a home ? Then he would usually give me a big hug. He would always make the clay and pour mold for aunt carolyn's ceramic shop .. Shawna and I seemed to always get in trouble cause we liked to sneak down and get into whatever trouble we could around the ceramics. I remember always being told to stay clear away from the kilm because it was usually hot .. well one time I found out first hand exactly how hot it was when I got to close. Burnt my underwear right off my butt and left an impression of my butt on the kilm. Me and shawna was too scared to go tell aunt Carolyn what happened so shawna came up with the idea of her putting butter on my butt. When the adults finally figured out what had happened not only was it bad enough my butt print was on the kilm but shawna told them she put butter on my butt. Man I still hear about it to this day and how the kilm is still around and even my butt print is still on it. The things we did and got in trouble for. I will always be thankful for the childhood memories and knowing how much I was loved by uncle clarence and aunt Carolyn. May they rest in peace
Love
