These are Jasmine's spring memories. Morgan's are here.
"When I lived in Chicago, we used to live right next to our cousin's house. It was like our house, a neighbor's house, then Kevin's house.This was when we were really young and we didn't know a lot of English because we only spoke Chinese. What we'd do every single day when Kevin got out of school was go to Kevin's house for like five hours. He's just have to hang out with us for like five hours and not do his homework, which was terrible. At the time, we didn't know it was terrible. So we were like, okay alright. So, because he wanted to get his homework done, he'd send us on these 'missions', in which he was like 'Okay guys, get me these things' and they were like stuff he needed for his homework. We'd be like 'aight'.And that was all that we would do, and then he would play video games while we just watched. That was my childhood."
"How old were you?"
"I don't know, like five? Smol child."
"So you didn't speak very much English as a little kid?"
"Nah, we started in preschool. So, 4? Yeah, preschool was not fun, but kindergarten was a little more fun."
"So what were those journeys like?"
"My journeys? They weren't really anything. They were just kind of like, sub-par make-believe adventures? Sup-par...at best. There was one time where he actually tried to make a game for us, but we just weren't having it. It was really late and we were just like no. It was a make-your-own-adventure type of thing, and it was really neat, but we just gave up on it like two acts in."
