Early November '88- A handsome man knocks at the door to ask my mom and me out on a date. We go the movies and see Crocodile Dundee II. Also, we eat candy. After the movie, the man gives me a stuffed lion and brainstorms names with me. Maybe Fred, he says, but I say that's ridiculous. It's a stuffed lion. My black cat is Black Kitty, my stuffed animals are Brown Bear, Medium Brown Bear, Purplish Monkey, Pink Baby and so on. Fred? No. I suggest Bigger Lion as I have a smaller one already.
August 13, '88- My mom marries Mitch Farris, the man who brought me Bigger Lion.
Happy anniversary, you two.
