The cutting board insult at that age is wild as they look a little too young for puberty.

That's how you know it's a male writer

The thing that I never believe is that anyone recognizes someone from childhood like that. I remember a kid when I was 5 and we were bffs 0 chance I'd recognized now.

I wasnt even friends with a kid from my elementary school but we recognized each other in our 20s when we ran into each other paddling a river. It does happen but it depends how much the person changes over the years

Also how much you interact with them on the more recent encounter.

More time spent together gives more time to tickle those “wait, you seem familiar…” vibes in the back of your mind.

I mean, on average boys have a later puberty so they are generally shorter. And girls don't have boobs at that time too. It isn't pushing anything, just observing.

Stop playing victim. You sound exactly like anti-woke crowd.

Would have been funny if the hair colors in the second pic were swapped to make it a double trans swap.
