    How old were they at the time and how did the subject come up?

      Not very satisfying answers I’m afraid, they were probably 8-10 and I have no idea how we got onto the topic since this was 15+ years ago.

        But why are you proud? Or was that more tongue-in-cheek?

          I get the impression you don’t think this was a good thing to have done, hence the interrogation?

            I wouldn’t intentionally give a childhood a existential crisis, no, but I’m sure I could inadvertently. Didn’t mean it to feel like an interrogation, sorry. Was just curious.
