I listened to Spice Girls when I was really young and small living in a small town in California with my mom, dad, and two sisters. I can't remember my exact age at this time, but I do remember that I loved them so much. I owned a jigsaw puzzle of them, which I told my grandfather to build for me after many unsuccessful attempts on my part. He finished it fast and from him I learned how to build jigsaw puzzles.
"First you separate the bordering pieces with the inside pieces. Then, you build the border, and when you are done with the border, separate the inside pieces by color and build!" he would say.I used to pretend I was Sporty Spice, I don't know why. I think I liked to run a lot.
One of my sisters was Baby Spice because she was tiny for her age.
My other sister was Scary Spice. She had and still has a more assertive personality.
My cousin was Ginger Spice. She was more outspoken, outgoing you might say.
There wasn't a Posh Spice. Although, my cousin sometimes would be her too.
We sang and danced to their songs like many other little girls and I loved to eat Spice Girls lollipops and collect the stickers.
So when Spice Girls performed in the Olympics on August 12, 2012, I sat throughout the whole performance. I remembered and thought and missed when I was young.
I wish I could go back in time.
