Coming to the realization that not everyone was a good person.

Wally World wasn't an Amusement Park.

For no apparent reason whatsoever, my mom chose to call Walmart "WallyWorld" ...
I had never seen the move and hated shopping so I'd often complain about having to go to to Wallyworld on the weekends. A classmate of mine who had seen Vacation a few times begged me to take her with us, so we arranged to pick her up on the way...I'm sure my mom thought that an odd request, but anyways.... The look of disappoint on her face when we pulled in at the mall and not an amusement park was so real, I wonder if someday I'll bump into her in one of these threads.

my parents cooking. i didnt know it at the time but my parents were awful, awful cooks. we were really poor which didnt help. when i got a job and started buying my own food i was shocked at how delicious food could be.

Same for me! Heart disease is strong on my mom's side so she put an outright embargo on salt in our household. I guess she decided to be cautious because she didn't use ANY other spices either. No garlic, no pepper, nothing. Fast forward to starting university and having a roommate with Thai parentage. A whole new world of flavour was opened up to me.
I remember telling her "I thought only restaurants could make food taste like this"

At least now you know it wasn't because your dad didn't love you?
Seriously though, that sucks.

Probably all those shitty plastic toys and games that looked so amazing on TV, but which were brittle useless half broken pieces of un-fun shit in real life. That crap cost my parents so much money just to disappoint me
