Growing up,we had a lemon tree in our backyard.

My teacher told my mom I was the “Heartthrob of the forth grade class”.
To bolster my self-esteem, my mom mentioned this frequently, as if it were an actual achievement.
(This was surprisingly effective up until age 12… when independent thought kicked in).
I believe our true selves emerge around age 12.
