Twenty One Years Ago

This drawing was drawn by a 12 year old Oatmeal Boy, yeah, it was drawn by me, in Oregon, in the Spring of 1997.

I wanted to get married, have children, to buy a house, to keep my mother's Steinway & Sons baby grand piano which she got from her grandparents. Below is my dragon story and a book report on a plant.
