This and similar stories ive heard irl are reasons im deeply thankful ti be an only child. My dad was the middle child of 3 brothers with a miscarried daughter before him. I didnt find out about this daughter until I was like 23, my parents thought they had mentioned it at some point when I was a kid but old enough not to mention it around her cause its a reslly sensitive thing, it explains the obvious preferential treatment my female cousin got as a kid from her. Anyway my dad got a vasectomy like 3 years later. Apparently I mixed up the word 'operation' with 'infection' and was telling kids in daycare my dad got an infection and now he cant have kids. I'm pretty proud of myself as a three year old for knowing either word really
Intrigued at them telling you that something happened to him that made him sterile
Were you asking for a sibling a lot or did they just randomly tell you?
He did the tjing that happened to him on purpose. Dunno if you read my post right. He got a vasectomy. Im too young to remember but have no problem asking. Im pretty sure at the time I assumed siblings were a random chance thing. I cant recall ever wanting a sibling, mayne wondering why other kids had em and I didnt. Chs ces are my parents just explained sex to me to a certain extent as a toddler. As in when a grown up boy and a grown up girl do a thing they can make a baby but they have to do a thing, nothing explicit, but they wouldn't bullshit me either. I know that for sure, I got into a looooot of awkward situations regsrdong Santa clause that way. As I said, I kmew the word infection already somehow and got it and operation confused. I didnt think my dad had an infection, I thought infection meant when a doctor does an operation. Or at least thats what im told, its pre memory for me.
One thing I do remember from around the ssme age was reciting the entirety of Coolio's Gangsters Paradise in daycare as well. That and Copperhead Road were my two favorite songs as a little 90s kid. Apparently copperhead road made me go off fucking hard in my Jolly Jumper. I later spent like 20 years deep in the punk scene, which matches really hard.
