6. Life was good.

7. Almost too good to be true.

8. And always full of surprises.

9. Also, pandas.

10. You never wanted to share these with other kids.

11. And you couldn’t quit smoking fake cigarettes.

12. Or binging on mysterious strawberry-disguised hard candy for that matter.

15. JUST CRAZY.

16. Please tell me you remember these.
