What Happened To Yesterday?

I woke up today and things seemed strange.

What happened to yesterday?

Wasn't it just yesterday when I was calling mommy to tell her I was done taking a bath and she didn't answer? So, I washed myself up, drained the water out of the bath tub, and saw that she was asleep in the chair. I went to my room to play. When she woke up, she came running in looking for me and I told her she didn't come so I washed myself and played in my room while she slept.

Wasn't it yesterday that I was in the first grade when the nun caught me passing notes to my "girlfriend"?

Wasn't it yesterday that the nun told my mother about the note and my mother didn't say anything about it until the ride home in her Corvair when she said, "So. You have a girlfriend, huh?" while Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" was playing?

Wasn't it just yesterday when I let a pretty girl talk me into a fight during my first day in school in Baltimore and I got beat up?

Wasn't it just yesterday when I "noticed" Valerie Holmes in the 7th grade and started to realize that girls with curves "look nice"? And wasn't it yesterday when Valerie broke my heart?

Wasn't it just yesterday that I attended Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and, for the first time, had white kids in my class, some who were smarter than I and some that were dumber than I?

Wasn't it just yesterday that I was at UVa determined to get out of that school in 4 years because "Shar-Lotts-Ville" irked me to no end?

Wasn't it just yesterday that I graduated and started my working life?

Wasn't it just yesterday that I looked at my baby girl in baby ward and was checking her out?

I swear it was yesterday that I complained to my daughter's mother that "She wanted to sit on Santa's lap but then got scared! So, to take the picture, I had to sit on some old man's lap!"

Wasn't it yesterday "S.S." rocked my world and then rocked it again when she went nuts because "I WANT TO GET MARRIED NOW!" and I wasn't even thinking about marriage at that point.

Wasn't it yesterday I spent time working in the U.K.?

Wasn't it yesterday I got married? No, that had to be the day before yesterday, because yesterday, "D.S. 2.0" was born. But, he's almost 2 years old?

You mean that wasn't yesterday?
