I remember Mom bringing home a box full of blank paper of varying sizes, shapes, colors, and weights, and I had a lot of fun thinking of different things to do with them.

I remember driving up to Waverly with Dad during my senior year of high school to take some kind of advanced placement exam but then deciding not to take it.

I remember a Wendy's TV ad where a little old woman kept asking about a competitor's hamburger, "Where's the beef?"

I remember E.J. at the Anthony's store where Grandma worked who gave us kids plastic golden eggs with either candy or little cracker-jack type prizes in them (I can't remember which, or maybe it was both).
