Yeah. And so you, so I remember watching it and being infatuated and that's actually probably a better word. Cause I was like, you're just like, Whoa, what the hell's going on here? You know? And, um, oddly enough, well, I mean, it makes sense, but you know, maybe a week or two later, I, end up trying to have sex with a girl who's like six years old. I'm five, five, six years old.
She's my age, wearing a closet. And I remember being in that closet. She had sweatpants on and like making out with the girl and like attempting to have, trying to do something, recreate what I had seen, you know? And my mom busts open the door and yells at us and she ends up whipping my ass for it. And maybe rightfully so, but maybe not. Um,

Nonetheless, this kind of sets you up for the rest of life. So I was desensitized to sex, essentially. Did you even know what it was at that age, really? No. You're just recreating what you see. So when you see kids do things, they're likely a mirror of their parents. If they're assholes, well, their parents are probably assholes. Sometimes they're just little shit. They are.

I got seven more years. Enjoy the ride. Okay, cool. So a couple weeks. Actually, I don't know the timeline here at this point. I mean, my childhood's really cloudy as far as my frame of reference is school and figuring out what grade I was in and what neighborhood I lived in. But one of the babysitters that we would frequent, they had like four or five boys that lived there.

They were all much older than me. The youngest one was at least five or six years older than me. The oldest one was a teenager, and unfortunately, he molested me. I was five years old. He was a teenager. He looked like a man. I did not. That's all I can remember. And, you know, he touched me. He made me touch him. He exposed himself. He looked at me, and that was, like, the extent of the abuse.

I actually did report that. I don't know when I did, but I ended up telling my grandparents around that time. We would go see my grandparents on the weekends every now and then. And my grandma, she was kind of reading the bad touch, good touch kind of books to us. And I was kind of like, oh, wait a second. And I told my grandma what had happened.

And so they did, my grandma and my grandpa, as I tell the story, one of the questions I get all the time is why didn't they step in and save me? To be clear, they tried to save me from the time I was born. The system is just fucked up and it's almost impossible to take kids away from their parents. until they're dead, basically. That's what happens most of the time, or so it seems.
