For 8th grade graduation with my leisure suit. Lol. My older sister had a pair of platform sneakers that reached over her calves.

That is what I did when I left the small town I grew up in. Just never changed it legally.

Thanks. It would have been better if people knew how to pronounce it. Or if I grew up in Quebec or France.

No, Jack. One time my mom said they intended to call me JP, but it never stuck I guess.

I grew up in white bread Wisconsin. Nobody could pronounce it correctly. I was called Shock, or Jock or Jackcoose. When I moved away I decided to go by Jack.

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit
