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

A male writer who is totally cut off from his memory of being a kid, it seems!

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.
