Where I'm From by Abagail Kovacs

I'm from cold winters to warm summers

From personalized ornaments at Bronner's

I’m from a packed family reunion

From spending the first two years sleeping on my dad’s chest

I’m from showing up fashionably late

From singing in the car

I’m from Hot Pizza at Uncle Aaron's

From a town with a backward L motel

I’m on vacation in Frankenmuth

From being related to lots of people

From coloring inside the lines 

I'm from China dishes full of food at Thanksgiving 

From finger foods at Christmas 

I'm from playing Donkey Kong on the Wii

from cooking with my family 

I'm from playing outside in the dirt

from playing Super Mario Bros. On the ds

I'm from seeing Halloween decor at Tracy's and almost dying from a giant cross

from selling Girl Scout cookies

I'm from Mr. Al asking, "Where are my cookies?"

from driving go karts

I'm from having a second family at my parents' work

from watching Christmas movies year-round

I'm from a dad with 21 adopted siblings 

from having Aunts and Uncles who are just close family friends

I'm from having a cat allergy and owning 5 cats

From a divided NFL house 

I'm from football in the fall to baseball in the spring

from a town known for a pizza shop with a pink elephant 

from eating weird things growing up

I'm from living in the same house my whole life
