    Though he is heterosexual, he would hang out with the gay kids because they were more accepting.

    He joined the Marine Corps…it was a very intense and loud experience.

    He had a very sensitive sense of smell, and would smell people as a child.

      Your collection of toy cars reminded me that I loved Hot Wheels as a kid in the '90s and early '00s. And I would often have to get more whenever we went to the store. Or at the very least see what they had. Luckily they were cheap so my parents were ok getting 1 or 2 each time.
      I was also really good at remembering what ones I already had, so I knew at the store what ones I didn’t have.
      It’s been a long time since I counted, but I amassed over 300 cars by the time I grew out of them.
