I pull it down, and it's just blood everywhere.

I was like six because they were driving me from the suburbs, Buffalo Grove, to the city to see this guy. And at the time, they were just saying, like, is he hyperactive? I guess I was borderline hyperactive for whatever that meant for a six-year-old in class who was fucking living on sugar. Pop-tarts. Pop-tarts. Frosted franks for breakfast.

But I just remember at that point, that was what launched it where at first they said maybe he would be good to take a Ritalin.

They're like, my kid's not going through life doped up, which is a great thing because you have to learn how to process stuff. And so the answer became I would go to a class, but not like these other kids. I didn't live in the class. I was in general pop.

Regular school. Yeah. But I would get one period a week to go. I had a speech therapist and then I'd have to go to this class. So when I go to this class, I figured it out.
