It was kind of like, that's the club.

Like for two hours, we hang out in this secret club.

But for me as an eight, nine year old, it was like this cool thing to do.

And I wanted to hang out with these kids.

And they said, there's two ways to join the club.

The first way is you need to answer a list of questions.

And there was a few questions and they asked me them and I didn't know the answers to them.

And every time I didn't know the answer to one question, I just felt dumber and dumber.

I felt insignificant.

I didn't feel like I was enough.

I didn't feel like I was good enough or smart enough because I didn't have the answers to what seemed to be like basic questions.

And they said, okay, you don't have the answers to these questions.

The second way to enter is you need to pay $5.

Now $5 back when you're eight or nine, back in the eighties, the late eighties was a lot of money.

You know, for me, I was like, I don't have $5.

And so they said, you can't come in the club until you pay.

And so I ran home to my mom.

I said, mom,

There's this club, these kids that are really cool.

And I didn't have the answers to the test to get in, but if I can get $5, they'll let me hang out with them.
