Liliana

They were like, if you're tall enough, you're going to ride it.

And I'm like, please don't.

They have me by the hand.

I'm literally digging my heels into the concrete while they drag me over to where it's high enough.

And I'm

i'm putting up such a fight that people are starting to stare like people are staring and my parents are like look everybody can see you everybody thinks you're such a baby you're embarrassing yourself you know that and and stuff like that and i internalized it i believed them every time that i'm such an embarrassment again now that i'm older i i know these people are looking at you mistreat your child in public that's what they're looking at but

Yeah, I was just like, I don't care that I'm being embarrassing.

I'm scared.

So they take me over to where it's the height measurement.

I am tall enough.

And they go, oh, you're going to ride it.

And I'm just like, oh my gosh, you thought I was crying before?

I was...

bawling my eyes out like I was like begging them with everything in my body please don't make me ride this and surprisingly they actually did not make me and I was just like oh thank god you know whatever and we continued our our trip at SeaWorld and everything was fine however when we got home they were like oh yeah we're gonna punish you for that you deserve to be punished for being too scared at six years old to ride a roller coaster they decided that my punishment

For being a baby, I was going to be treated like a baby.

I had to wear pull-ups.

I had to drink from a sippy cup.

I'm six years old.

I'm in first grade at this point.

I met all of my milestones really early.
