Did you write about that? Did I inadvertently plagiarize your childhood?

I don’t think I’ve written about in anything published. But even if I had, I’d say that falls under ‘steal like an artist’ and is therefore permitted. To be clear, I have no problem with it either way.

I love making people laugh. I know I lean darker on here, but I really do try to lighten it up sometimes. Maybe I'll try again tonight. No promises.
