In those days in England you wore a badge of honor if you made a good brew of home made beer. So in my family I did all the brewing, buying and bottling to make our household potent brew, I even had a tool that put those crinkly caps on to be more authentic. I was the popular brewer of the day within my family. I was deeply into it. Over time it came to pass that my bully twin brother saw fit to refuse payment of his share point blank, even though he consumed as much if not more than I did. I remember being very anxious and angry about this, he showed no respect and insulted me each time he helped himself! Being the inventive one of the two I resorted to stealing the money from him to get reimbursed, and honorably stole the exact amount each week from his room. At least I think I was being honorable, knowing myself I could have taken a little extra cash from time to time for revenge! (TMS truth here.) Because of my appetite and reliance for alcohol at that time I “had to make the beer”, I had no choice, stealing the money from him was the easy way out and avoided confrontation. In the end I hid beer from him all over the house, the garage, the garden shed, even in my bedroom. The reader may find it strange that I stored large quantities of beer in my bedroom, and if you do, that’s OK, for you are not an alcoholic. What a joke, looking back at this, I suddenly became emotional: I started to giggle, then laugh. My laughter became louder and louder, and I eventually had tears of laughter running uncontrollably down my face. Two days later I started laughing in a coffee shop, and my wife asked me what was I giggling about, I explained as the tears of laughter dribbled all over my bacon and eggs, (sorry vegans.) Let’s analyze why I laughed: The pettiness of the incident, at the time was very important, but in reality laughable. TMS picks on even petty issues. My stealing for revenge, actually gave me protection and satisfaction at the time, none the less laughable. TMS equivalent protection here. The fact that I made beer and went to these great lengths, an alcoholic trait; I was a heavy drinker for relief of the emotional nasties. A bit of TMS sadness and reality here. Hiding crates of beer in my bedroom, rather unusual and laughable don’t you think? TMS comedy here, is it allowed? From the Wiki program I was asked to make a list of childhood experiences. I very quickly came up with 15 of them, and then ran out of space. I will use the above experience to offset the more depressing ones, the worst being titled “when my brother shot at me’” Has anyone had a humorous event like this is? Is this normal reaction or am I still under the influence of all that beer I used to drink 28 years ago? Andy Past TMS Experience in 2000, with success. Now on Day 6 Wiki Edu.
