We’re they all you thought they would be? Apparently you survived. I can just imagine one of these overly protective parents of today racing their child to the ER if they ate ashes.

My twin brother was an INSANE toddler so my mom let me get away with a lot and eventually realized some stuff really didn't matter all that much. who cares if the kitty pool hadn't been sprayed out since I used it last.

So, let’s back up a bit. What had you go vegan for a period of time? Just being nosy.

My vegan cousin told me I was a horrible human for eating meat. I was 12 at the time btw. I decided to go vegan and my Mom did her best to help me make meals but I was the only one who ate vegan. I stopped at 15 after I was eating some veggies and my brother made himself a cheese burger. It looked so good I cried and then my brother made me one and I ate like 3. haven't looked back since.

I remember having to carry heavy books in high school.

... with just a rubber strap to hold them together. Backpacks were only for camping!

Absolutely right. I can remember fighting to keep hold of my books, as I walked to and from school,yes, in the snow at times although it wasn’t uphill both ways.

... those HORRIBLE girls' gym uniforms! Ours were awful yellow shorty-dresses, with ... gasp ... matching BLOOMERS!

Glad you saw the error of your ways, and came back to the omnivore group.
