Prompt: Describe a memory of pain from your childhood.- “Memories of pain?” Are you fishing here, brother? Are you looking for some heartfelt confession about how step-daddy beat me, and about how Mommy slept around? Do you wanna see my voice start to crack, my eyes get watery, maybe a little hair-petting afterward and group hugs

You should have been here last year when I asked why people think this is a big deal and everyone shit their pants.

Because every time a parent hits a kid, it's with a red hot poker and done with hate in their heart.

And all children are well-behaved angels who are never little shits who get out of line. And also understand adult logic!

The funny thing is, those are the people whose kids always turn out to be the most fucked-up, mentally. And then they go get jobs on Wall Street and fuck up our country.

You're not mad at all then? About the beatings?

[artoflabor]

I was pretty mad back then because I was a dumbass kid, but what's there to be mad about now?
