Memory stored the smile I wore when I learned how to walk, rather than crawl, my first trial. I seldom sat though I'd often clumsily fall, kersplat! A clown as I recall, down. Memory stored the smile, though I'd often clumsily fall down. (Minichu)

Emile, you had a perfect Minichu with innocence reflected all over. However, your titling missed the 'innocent' part of it in hurry. Congrats for your placement in my contest, my friend. Mohan
