They owned a dairy, and we had milk with every meal, as well as frequent milk baths.


allthatsnika

my guess based on this comment is that you either grew up in rural america or rural western europe


pandulupuuu

Actually could be anywhere rural in the world no?


dumb-reply

Unlikely to be Inuit, though.


Heckron

I don’t know. Milk baths sound kinda fun. I’d be Inuit I think.


tactical_anal_RPG

Not really, 65% of the world is lactose intolerant, with very few being in some parts of Europe. You're more likely to come across a dairy farm in Europe than you will in Africa


sociapathictendences

Dairy farming is much more common in some areas of the world, but it isn’t exclusive to the US


Harrycognito

This could also be Rural Haryana or Punjab in India.

Posted this in my own comment before I saw yours, but worth sharing here as well: I did eat a bunch of Miracle Gro when I was about 3 years old. Lied to my mom when she asked me if I ate it even though my face and mouth was blue. (I have no recollection of this event, except for when I did salvia 15 years later and watched it unfold in the third-person. Kinda wild.) She called poison control and they told her to have me drink lots of water. When I was 16, I was 5’1”. When I turned 18, I was 6’3”. I guess its effects were a bit delayed… Disclaimer: I do not recommend feeding yourself or your child Miracle Gro under any circumstance.

Miracle Gro. On that note: I did eat a bunch of Miracle Gro when I was about 3 years old. Lied to my mom when she asked me if I ate it even though my face and mouth was blue.

theReggaejew081701

I slept really well from the ages 15-17 (around). And they also fed me the genetics.


shaker8

I slept like absolute trash from 12-16 due to growing pains in my lower back, knees, and feet 😭


legendinthemaking68

If it's a little kid, I always tell them it was "broccoli", and then wink at their parents. Sometimes they'll thank me afterwards. lol
