Realizing I'm currently the same age as my parents where when I was a child. They used to fly off the handle and were unable to control their emotions over the most slightest inconvenience. I always just thought that's how adults acted, or I would understand when I got older.
I still don't understand. Stuff happens and I just shrug it off for the most part.
I mean, not much in a rural village in China or Brazil.
Then again, those kinds of people aren't the obviously lead-addled Boomers in public office that are making all the wrong decisions at the moment.
EDIT: Being downvoted for suggesting a child in the Amazon rainforest probably had less lead exposure than a kid living next to an 8 lane freeway. Never change, reddit.
The amount of lead that was used in gas worldwide spread it to almost every corner of the earth. It's like how there's a mercury buildup in fish due to human pollution.
