...stumble across something of your parents or grandparents that either traumatized you for life or helped mold you and shape you, into the person you are today?
When I was about 12/13, I "accidentally" found my dad's (RIP dad, love/miss you) stash of girlie magazines once. What a grand find THAT was. Of course, they were pretty mild compared to some of the sick schit you see online nowadays.
Then one time, my brothers and I spent a week of summer vacation at my grandparents house, and I found some old records. Amongst all the Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Sr. and Earnest Tubbs, there was one album in particular that had songs like Snoopy and the Red Baron, Alley Oop and Yakety Yak (don't talk back) on it. But there was one song on that record, that I didn't quite understand until I got older (I was only like 8 or 9) and heard it again. I laughed myself silly!
That was over 40 years ago. Over those 40 something years, I had forgotten all about that silly song...until this morning. I was cruising through YouTube and I stumbled across it - again! And, just like that, I was a kid again, laughing myself silly.
Here's to childhood memories. Cheers!
