"Every"?

- I never imagined my mom as anyone other than my mom.

- I don't recall that I knew who Marilyn was when I was 8 (1971 - 72).

- I had no idea what a soccer ball was when I was 8.  I was 13 the first time
  I laid eyes on one (1976 - 77).  (By then, it would have been Farrah kicking
  balls, not Marilyn, who was indisposed at the time.  Come to think of it,
  she *was* kicking balls on _Charlie's Angels_.)

- I'm having trouble conjuring up an image of my mom kicking a soccer ball--
  either now or in 1971.

- I have found high heels alienating as long as I remember--at least to age 6.
  Call me different.  High heels had the immediate effect of making a woman
  seem distant and formal to me.
