April 4: Writing Prompt #94-The Transporter

Tell us about a sensation — a taste, a smell, a piece of music — that transports you back to childhood.
So, this would be pretty much any 80’s to early 90’s song.  If it’s Madonna, it transports me back to the makeshift tent I put up in the upstairs bonus room of our house where I spent many a weekend or the talent show at elementary school where I choreographed a dance to “Like a Virgin,” wearing multiple bracelets up and down my arms just like her.  If it’s the Pretty in Pink soundtrack or specifically the, “Wouldn’t it be Good to be in Your Shoes” song, I am transported back to the only car wreck I was ever in where I totaled my first car (a Toyota Corolla) when an old steel Ford truck turned in front of me at a 4 way stop while I was on my way to my math tutor’s house.

There are many more like this, but to be honest, I don’t always remember them until I hear them, which is mostly in my car on the way to work or back, but it is funny how it truly does “transport” you to another time and place. I LOVE that about music! Don’t you?
