Getting fired from my paper route because I dropped the paper of one customer on his driveway instead of his front door.

Fuck that guy.

I feel probably unreasonably irked that some shithead did not just call up and kindly request, but must've complained about you. Hopefully your replacement tossed one through his window.

Being poor. Though it motivated me to not be poor as an adult. So I guess I got that going for me.

Pretty much growing up. You spend a lot of time wanting to be older because it looks better and adults got to do stuff that you couldn't. But it never really got better, just different.

I was a chubby douche, my sister a jr. Olympics cross country runner. I got jealous, though I really didn't understand what I was feeling, I just dove in, I told my teacher that these crappy books I used to draw were getting published with my parent's help. I told my parents that the crappy books were getting published with my teacher's help. Everybody congradulated me, treated me a little better. So my mom went to the library, and I swore until the end that the books were there, my books. While my mom asked the librarian I spied from a distance, and could tell the rouse was up by their body language. Well, there was no big upset. Everything went back to the way it was. I didn't even get punished for lying, just got trusted a little less, respected a little less by everyone. I was hoping at least to be punished, to get some attention that way. It was a pretty important lesson for me as a 10 yr old.

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"

On the flip side, was it exciting to suddenly realize that food could taste amazing and you had a whole new world to explore?

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