Things that Stay with You

You know, it's funny how somethings you remember and somethings you can't. Forrest Gump couldn't remember being born, or what he got for his first Christmas, or going on his very first picnic. But he did remember meeting Jenny on that first bus ride to school.

Now, I don't remember learning how to wipe myself after going to the bathroom, the first time feigning illness to stay home from school actually worked, or how it was like to be so accepting of plot jumps and nonsensical quick actions cuts in The Transformers and other 80s cartoons, but I do remember being in my preschool's unisex bathroom, seeing for a the first time a pantless girl walk in, and me exclaiming:
"Someone cut your penis off!"

Without saying a word, she turned around and walked out.


Author's Note: I intended to tell of how I still remember the Mortal Kombat blood code for Sega Genesis (ABACABB), but I decided this was a better story....
