When I was young...

When I was a child, my parents told me a million stories. Whether it be the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, or about my great grandmother Gigi, who passed before I ever met her, each store was so interesting and exciting to me. But one in particular always stands out to me. The story of how my parents first met and instantly fell in love. I think my favorite part is when my parents were working together and my mom, trying to be cute, put paint on her face because she saw Marlo Thomas do that in an episode of That Girl. However instead of my dad thinking it was cute, he yelled, "Lin, wipe that off your face! That's oil based paint!" Ever since hearing their store, I've always wanted to find true love like that. Since my parents got married at 19, I've given myself til then to find my first love. The only difference is instead of finding a beautiful wife like my mom, I want to find a beautiful husband I can spend the rest of my life with. Like the stories Marjane was told, I looked up to my parents and I too thought of them as heroes in a sense.
