Yes. I wanted to finish high school, finish post secondary school, buy a home, have a good job that I like, and be a kind person. I accomplished all of that. What I didn’t accomplish is to own my own three toed sloth

An actual three toed sloth or is this a reference to something else?

@RenFur an actual three toed sloth. I did a project on them in gr 6. Fell in love and when I was 19 I went to South America and bumped into a man on the beach carrying a mother and her baby. Of course I freaked out. He handed them to me and asked if I’d watch them for a few minutes. Of course I said yes! He didn’t come back for them for seven or so hours! I was thrilled. Best day ever!

That's the kind of story that would make anyone smile. I wonder why he assumed you wouldn't worry about his being away for so long.

@RenFur I’ve wondered that too for over 30 years. He did say he got caught up doing some thing, but I was just so happy to have them that I would’ve kept them forever if I could have

I was hoping you'd answer my comment that way - and you did :)
