#1 I had a difficult time in school from the start. I was always a bad student, and I never learned how to knit. I was hit by the teacher whenever I did something wrong.

#2 I had a very fraught relationship with my stepfather, because I was an only child and he was a newly married man with two children from his previous marriage. I was constantly being bullied by his newly acquired siblings.

#3 My sexual education began when I was very young. I grew up in a rural area, and I would often find people going at it in the fields. I grew up dancing, and when the twist came in, I gave that up because it offended me. I needed to get close and warm.

#4 I was 14 when I started working at the riding school. I was in love with Ann, who was five years older than me. I couldn't understand why she would go out with such an ugly guy. But the funniest story involved a friend of mine named Tommy Lee.
