@mhoye I did that once. Once was enough, lesson learnt.

@[email protected] ​I have several memories like this with my dad, many of which now have a weird two layer emotional response as I've learned more about my #adhd and it has changed my understanding of what happened (and how he must have felt about it at the time). Like, for example, the time he absent mindedly ate all the ingredients for decorating my 4th birthday cake. (I didn't find out about that one till much later, but it left quite an impact on my siblings...)

@mhoye

good life lessons there. When you make a mistake, fix it, then move forward.

I didn't understand what I was seeing at all at the time. But I was thinking about him just now as I microwave a bowl with four different kinds of leftovers in it for breakfast, because we don't waste food here and some things just need to get done.

@mhoye i had a great uncle who would eat oj on cereal on purpose. Nobody ever knew why he did it but he apparently liked it
