[Potironette]

When I was very, very young, maybe about three years old, I lived with my grandparents near a playground with a swing-set. The swing-set was located directly under a tree that became pink in the spring. Now that I think about it, maybe it was a cherry tree.
I remember one spring my grandfather was pushing me on the swing, and I kept wanting to swing higher to touch the trees. It never happened, but it was fun--and I went home once it started raining. "It's raining caterpillar rain," was what I had said (in Chinese) that day.

What's your favorite word if you have one?
