@jimmitchell We've got fire ants here. When they bite you, the welts, itching and pain last for days. It's horrible. My heart goes out to your three-year-old self.
@jimmitchell Oh dear this is both poignantly sad while also being smile worthy at our childhood innocence. But I know what you mean about learning the hard way. Oh, and by the way, I'm loving these childhood reminiscences. They must be painful and cathartic at the same time.
@alexink These catharses were dealt with long ago and help shape who I am today. I enjoy telling the stories now.
I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I have more in the wings. My mom really should have watched me more closely. 🤣
