Ok but what about our "pods" in Children's Circle? When I meet people I get along with really well and feel like I've known for years, I feel they must have been in my pod -- that we were all in the same Children's Circle together. But could it be we went to different Children's Circles together instead?

I remember the swimming lessons, with the old man swim instructors in bathing caps who taught us to float on our backs, holding us up with their fingertips. I remember staring up at the big fans, water filling my ears, and hearing the roar of the big machines. I always thought those guys were Catholic.

What is Children's Circle? Is that the daycare that had the big Owl logo? I went there.
