30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 2

2. Your earliest memory.

I was two. At the time, we lived in Illinois, but we were visiting my grandparents in Oregon. I remember standing at the counter next to my grandmother–I must have been standing on a chair–and helping her decorate a cake. I also remember when my grandparents’ friends came over for a little party during that visit and I was the center of attention. My parents say I got so worked up they had to take me outside into the rain to calm me down. But I don’t remember that part.
