Tell me some of your earliest memories as a child!

1. I can remember being 4 years old and kicking my kindergarten teacher in the leg because she wouldn't let me go out to recess unless I drank white milk instead of chocolate like I usually drank. I had to sit in the corner for a week.
2. I was 5 years old and got my tonsils and adenoids removed and plugs in my ears and I can remember being on the gurney. I remember all the ice cream afterwards.
3. I can remember being about 6 and my neighbor got his stomach blown out by a firecracker and I was terrified of them ever since.
4. I can remember when I was a kid and all the neighborhood kids would come to our house to play because we had a treehouse, basketball goal, big trampoline, etc. There was a little boy a lot younger than all the other kids and everyone was really mean to him and used to throw cicada shells on him because he was so scared of them.

What are some things you remember as a kid?

Your punishment for refusing to drink the milk was sheer cruelty! I speak as someone who has always found milk pretty disgusting (I haven't touched a drop for many years), but if school milk didn't put you off the stuff, nothing would. It was always going sour and stinking.

I also had a tonsillectomy when I was about seven. I remember being given gas and being told to count to ten, and the extremely sore throat afterwards. Then, after about a week when I was discharged from the hospital, I suddenly had a massive appetite and was willing to eat all sorts of things that I'd always refused to eat before. I still never liked beans, eggs or mushrooms though. Ughhh!!!
