    I spent a lot of time with my grandfather in his final days, and he was hitting me with stories from when he was like 4-on. A lot of good memories and a lot of bad memories.

    I’m 31 and remember a ton from my childhood. Which makes sense bc I have to remind myself that I’m a grown man and not a kid in social situations all the time. (like when I have to go to my child’s school and my brain flips where I’m overly respectful to the teachers and almost raise my hand to speak to them)

    My wife had a rough childhood and can barely remember anything from those years due to mental blocks I guess.

    Tldr idk it depends I guess

      You can still be overly respectful to the teachers – I’m sure they appreciate it!

      (Especially when there are parents who seem to treat the teachers as retail workers…)
