I thought I was a new millenial person.
Then I was driving down the road to Saskatoon. Minding my own business. And a hot pink jeep passed me!
The strangest things can trigger flashbacks. I remember the TV desert rats. A group of army men with machine guns loaded on the back of camoflague jeeps. With green, and brown and shades in between. Never with women and never in pink. Always macho!
My first reaction to the pink jeep — “This is wrong!”
What other things bring the past to your present?
The way a grandchild smiles, the questions a toddler asks – are two of the ways the past jumps into today.
Sometimes the way my husband does things remind me of watching my dad do them – fixing a kitchen sink just when it is filled with hot water to do dishes.
A teenagers excitement over the newest fashion that is so similar in my memory to something worn years ago.
