I can remember snippets from moments before the age of 5, but they are bleak and not something i’d bet my life on having remembered accurately. I do however have a vivid memory of a time from kindergarten. It was recess and I got all the girls on the playground to march around shouting “BOY’S HAVE COOTIES!” Then when I saw the teacher coming to reprimand us, I faded into the background and watched from a distance as all the other girls got told to go back to play. It was from that moment on that I knew not only I was very influential, but that I was also great at not getting caught. I now try to be as careful as possible to use my “gifts” in a positive way only.
