The year was 1978. I wasn't even a year.
On the bed in a spare bedroom of the house I grew up in, the blinds were closed with traces of daylight peering in the shaded room, and I was left alone for a moment.
It might have been the first time I tried to do anything for all I know. My head was so heavy. I tried again and again in all these new and different ways. It was difficult but I knew I had it in me so I kept trying. Too young to remember how long it took, by the time the struggle was over I manged to sit up on my own for the first time. Being seated and keeping balance was easier, while just getting up was the hard part cause the neck was so weak and it's a big part of getting up.
My Brother entered the room, and he pushed me back down. I tried to get up again but he kept preventing me from sitting up again. This was all too interesting for me to make a fuss over, I was really living in the moment, no real verbal skills at the time, so I couldn't even complain about what he was doing to me, by modern description I felt like I was being taken advantage of, being held down like that, I was so helpless.
Now that I think about it, maybe in his toddler days my older Brother was smart enough to know I could have fallen on the floor rolling around on a bed.
That, or some good might have come of him being a dick from such a young age.
I know this was in 1978, because I was born late 1977.
