I Don’t Remember Anything, Except Heelys Broke My Heart
It’s alright, Pa, I can make it. (Sheulogy Submission)
It was either my 9th or 10th birthday. I don’t remember.
But my parents decided to bring me out to watch a movie.
I don’t remember what movie it was, probably Star Wars or something like that. In fact, I don’t think we even know what was showing that night.
“We’ll figure it out when we get there,” my mum said.
Ok sure. I didn’t care. Everything about this birthday was a haze but I remembered my heelys.(they were all the rage back then)
I remembered how mine looked like — black, red and white, with hot pink shoelaces.
I remembered putting them on and getting all excited about going to the cinema.
I was excited, not because of the movie, but because we were going out. And that meant I get to scoot around in my heelys since I wasn’t allowed to wear them at home.
