I just saw someone saying that lemmy will get better once we all move on and stop talking about reddit. So in the spirit of things, tell me a random story from your life. Something happy, something sad, special, mundane, recent, or a far off memory. What is something that happened to you that pops into your head?

I love this! It made me think of a story with my little sister. She was a surprise late addition to the family and came along when I was a teenager. She was born a little prankster, and because we were so far apart in age we never had any sibling rivalry. I used to install her carseat in my car and go do stuff with her. The one day I had to run errands and I took her along with the promise that I'd take her to the park and for a treat afterwards. She was like maybe 6? We were standing in line in the store and she gets this little smirk on her face, makes sure that other customers can hear her and goes "hey Mom, can we-" and I turned around and (not hard) backhanded her across the face and said "I'm not your mom, shut up!" She just started giggling. She loved calling me mom in public and did it every chance she got. It didn't help that she always looked more like me than pur actual parents. I got so much judgement for being a "teen mom" lol.
