My dad made it sound so easy. He’s really good at camping, and how to make fire from rocks and stuff. He used to come to all my sweat lodge meetings. And afterwards, we’d go get ice cream at Fenton’s. I always get chocolate and he gets butter brickle. Then we sit on this one curb right outside, and I’d count all the blue cars and he counts all the red ones, and whoever gets the most, wins.
I like that curb.
It might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.
Tony: What if…

Chris: When you were young, did you ever read The Very Hungry Caterpillar? It’s a classic. It’s about this caterpillar, yeah, and he eats a load of stuff, and then he gets in a cocoon and becomes a butterfly. And after my brother died, whenever my parents were just… you know, I’d get inside my duvet and I’d just read it over and over. And it made me think that when I come out, I didn’t want to be different. I just wanted what was outside to be different.
