Where it Started
I remember sitting at a small round table, just enough room to fit a family of four around, it was a tan color. It was bright and noisy, and the table was mine tonight, with piles of markers and papers everywhere. My parents were in the kitchen, and although I do not remember where my sister was, I always imagine her sitting across from.
