Spotted in Ngatea: I’ll bet that orning looks absolutely orsome.
Earliest memories
1. “Sitting in one of those chairs where they feed you. I remember just being happy, and pure. My mum was feeding me, and my dad was sitting on a couch across from me. I remember them smiling, and I remember being filled with love, no actual thoughts,
just pure love for my parents. I think about that once in a while.”
2. “My mum was spoon-feeding my infant brother and she dropped the spoon in a bowl of soup. I thought it was gone forever in an infinite ocean of soup, and I was amazed when she got it back out. I think that was me learning object permanence.”
3. “I faked swallowing a rock when I was 5 to leave kindergarten, then I confessed when my mum and I were at the hospital about to get an x-ray.”
4. “I’m about 3½ years old, and my dad wakes me up in the absolute dead of night and tells me to come down and watch TV. My mum’s like “just let the kid sleep”, but my dad says “No, this is important”. Turns out, some guys have just landed on the moon and are about to go for a walk.”
