looking back at your childhood and thinking “huh that was a kind of weird interaction” and suddenly realizing you were witnessing another child realizing their fetish for the first time
In fourth grade I was friends with this girl who also liked marine biology, so I invited her to my birthday party. We played some tag game in which she wound up as “it” and suggested that, instead of counting, we should tie her to my swing set and wait for her to escape. I think she was pretending to be a werewolf or a dinosaur or something.
We waited and waited and she didn’t escape, which I thought was weird, since it was super loose and poorly done. So I went back to check on her and ask if she needed help. She kept insisting no, just leave her be and let her figure it out herself, despite having made zero progress in fifteen minutes.
“Are you sure?” I asked.
“Yes,” she hissed at me. “I like it.”
There was ALSO this kid on my bus who was very, very interested in the fact that I wore glasses and that they would sometimes slip down my nose. He would ask me to “make them do that thing” by letting them slip and then pushing them back up. He complained when I got contact lenses.
