When I was 8 I stole a rubber and hid it in my front breast pocket, later on I showed it to mum with a smile on my face but she immediately knew she didn't buy me that, as a lesson she asked me to walk back to the store alone and confront the manager regarding the situation at hand, which I did. I gave him the rubber, the manager had a good laugh, pulled by cheek and asked me to keep it. That was the best day of my life.
As I was growing up I heard things like there’s no limit to gaining knowledge or you're the only barrier to your smartness but they were just blatant lies bc people just get dumber by day especially the female genome.
