My Childhood Summed Up in One Onomatopoeia

ZOOM!

Airplanes and helicopters flying over my head.

Where are they going and are there alien UFO’s up there?

ZOOM!

Trains passing me by as I sit in our car patiently waiting.

Waving, I wonder if any passengers see me.

ZOOM!

Driving mopeds around my grandparent’s house.

Pretending to be stunt devils.

ZOOM!

Motorcycles passing us by on the highway.

Thinking of all the action movies with highspeed highway weaving.

ZOOM!

The whirring noise of jumpropes swirling over my head.

Focusing on the rhythm of the game to get as high of a count as possible.

ZOOM!

Toy helicopter gliders soaring through the air.

Keeping my eyes pealed so I don’t get hit.

ZOOM!

Bicycles racing by competing for some destination.

Are they racing for fun or are they late being somewhere?

ZOOM!

The sound effect I make when holding my baby brother over my head.

Pretending he is a flying superhero going to save the day.
