Your Favorite Childhood Memory

[Jet]

I hated this back in the day, but I laugh about it now.

I hated—I mean hated— my bangs cut. My mom always cut my bangs and she always cut them uneven. So to get them straight, she'd cut until there was like nothing left. I'd sit on the toilet seat and cry...

They were so short I walked around with my eyebrows raised so my bangs would look longer. I looked perpetually surprised and my mom would say,"stop that, your face is going to freeze that way!"

I hated bangs most. Second, were those goddamn anklets she made me wear.

God I miss her.
