I actually only realised a months ago that this was pretty much my earliest memory. I was in grade 2 and it was time for everyone to read our picture books that we picked from the library. My book was about a boy who was imagining himself being different types of people and doing different things. Eg. Being an astronaut or fireman. Then i got to a page where he said he could be a fat boy and he was drawn to be really fat with a big belly, thick limbs and a double chin and he was eating cake. I didn't understand it back then but i knew that that concept made me feel good. And i remember feeling like i should hide my reaction because it wasn't normal.
