Recurring Memories

[mk_tortie]

Once when I was about 10 and at school, my teacher was talking to us all about how people have things they always do when they're tired, or bored, and she asked the class what we thought we did. I, not having an amazingly long attention span for things I don't find very interesting, was sat on the mat singing to myself under my breath, and I remember quite exactly that she turned to me and said: 'Well, I know what YOU do when you're bored, singing to yourself!'.

Ever since then, whenever I find myself singing without realising it, that moment replays in my mind. Weird, isn't it, how the most insignificant things can stick like that!
