Potty-Training
What I had believed to be my first memory was actually not my first memory, so my life has felt like a lie (just a bit). My REAL first memory was when I was about 2 years old. I was over at my babysitter’s house. I was in the middle of being potty-trained, so, inevitably, I had an accident. I was thrown into the a cold shower, bawling my eyes out, while my babysitter shoved my shorts in my face and continually screamed “DOES THIS LOOK CLEAN?” Needless to say I didn’t get anywhere near another toilet for a good 6 months afterwards.
