Obsessed With Childhood Lyrics
I have to tell you I am obsessed with my childhood. I never pooped. I’m
serious, I hated pooing, I never did it. I refused to poo as child. mostly, I
couldn’t. it wasn’t meat loaf, it w
T chicken and rice, it wasn’t six hot-dogs at lunch with kraft dinner on top,
it wasn’t sloppy joe’s, it wasn’t inactivity, I just never ever pooped. my
parents had this house on milinocket
T that had a bathroom upstairs. it had a door in the hallway and a door in the
master bedroom. they used to close the hallway door, open the bedroom door, sit
me on the potty and pull the t.v.
Here you know, so I’d sit and watch and ¡wait. I mean hours. I must have been
rotting insdie1 it would be like a week in between. you know, I discussed this
at length with my mom, and she

my two sisters had no problem pooping, and they ate the same suppers. it was

chicken pox, I was hospitalized because each pock was infected. each one! in
my eyelids, everywhere. the nurses

and this one time I stepped on a dirty nail, you know, like rusty, with my
barefoot. my whole hell became infected
Ghs). it was hug! my heel was the size of a volleyball! I had to go to the
doctor and get it drained. i was so ticklish all the time it took 5 or 6
doctors and nurses to hold me down and then

her head off, right there. I had scarletina this one time, and was quarantined.
I had a tonsillectomy. I even re

gigglin’. you know, cause I was get
Tickled. then I’d cry, c
Ause I was all tense, you know, and it hurt. sooner or later, I had to make a
run for it to the bathroom. boy, those nurses sure got mad at me for leavin’ a
trail. someone’s always mad, hey
U know, I took lots of things as a kid; ballet and jazz, dance, soccer, piano.
I was always in trouble, always bein’ a ham. when I was 5 we were all on the
stage with these cardboard clocks l
You know, two feet across, tied around us with string, like a sandwich board.
we were all moving our arms back and forth, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock
. I was wearing red buckle shoes, t
Know. well, my string broke and the clock fell off, night there on stage, I
just stood there, frozen, and bawling. the teacher had to walk on to the stage
and carry me off. you know, I react
E same way when that stagedivin’ crowd surfer kicked my microphone into my
teeth. hey, the more things change. I quit all of it eventually. dance class

Her, mrs. davies, got mad at me and called me a stupid girl and banged my hands
