So, that might explain a few things.
So I'm walking home from CVS tonight when suddenly, a wild memory appears!
I was maybe three years old. I was with my mother shopping at the A&P. I was in the cart in the reverse-facing kid seat when my mom selected a bunch of bananas from one of those supermarket endcaps with all of the fake plastic grass lining them. (I think this was before the Dole banana trees.) I don't remember if I had said I was hungry or if my mother just decided I needed to eat something, but she then removed one of the bananas from the bunch, pealed it and gave it to me to eat while still in the store.
I was in a tricky mental place where I understood the concept of commerce but not my own role in it, and thought for sure that policemen were going to get me at any moment and want to know why I was stealing a banana.
I'm not sure what to do with this memory besides remember it. It seems like I should really get some kind of revelation out of it.
