I Kicked a French Chicken in the Stomach Once

Remember those nights

When we would eat gummy bears in the dark

And guess their flavors?

Of course, we never knew if we were right or not

But the silly little things like that

Are the things I am most fond of

Or that one time

I slipped on soda in the McDonald's bathroom

And we laughed for what seemed like hours

Or the day we went down to the creek

And the neighbor's dog barked at us the whole time

And of course I wouldn't forget the time we went skateboarding

In our bikinis

Nights gossiping on the phone over a boy who probably will never remember us

Laughing over stupid things that nobody else would find funny

Those were the days

I wish we never had to grow up as quickly as it feels we did
