Day 1: Memory

The one that popped in my head is so dumb. Mainly because it is of what I did.
I was in high school- the summer between my freshman and sophomore year. My dad and I were watching "Pops goes the 4th" where the Boston Pops plays a multitude of patriotic songs,etc at the big theatre on the harbour. It was at the end when the Pops always performs "1812 Overture" and it features the firing of a canon. I looked at my dad and asked, "Where do the canon balls go?". Yes, I was being serious. To get the full picture, I was sitting on the other side of the room to my dad's left. He was drinking from a coffee cup. He set it down and looked at me and said, " I know that my intelligent child did not just ask where the canon balls go?" I said,"Well, where do they go?" He shook his head and said,"Honey- they do not fire canons into the Boston harbor or the crowd. They aren't firing any canon balls. It's just the boom." I specifically remember blinking at him. He started to laugh and stood up and walked out of the room shaking his head.
He talked about that for years... "Do you remember when you thought they fired canon balls at people at the Boston Pops concert?...."
