My First Memory
(Essay)
by: D. S. Mullis
I don’t remember being born…I don’t remember being carried to an old lady’s house out in the country, out from Augusta, Georgia, before I was eighteen months old. I don’t remember having infantigo. I don’t remember the first time I saw my mama and daddy who adopted me, nor smelling my adopted daddy’s cigar smoke for the first time. I don’t remember eating my first ice cream cone, which was given to me the day they adopted me. I don’t remember the first time my mama and daddy kissed me and held me close to them as their own little girl now.
