childhood

Everybody's family is a little weird in some way, but as a kid, you don't know any better. This leads to most of us having an awkward moment later on with friends, a scene along the lines of "hold on, not everyone's family has one day of the month where their dad eats as many cans of tuna as possible and then comes over and breathes on everyone?" or "wait a second, my mom always told me the blue parking spaces up front were for people in the very busy mom club?" Life is full of discovery. At least it's a little better than people later realizing something was illegal.

The junk food we grew up with holds a special place in many of our hearts, like this unhealthy indulgence of fast food nostalgia. The 90s were an interesting time for food.

Many of us grew up with less than stellar cooks at the helms of our households, and we bear the scars of the past. Cooking isn't intuitive, and more often than not a rushed parent just needs to get something on the table, even if it will become a negative memory.

This hilarious Tumblr story centers on a childhood game that a couple kids would play with their respective action figures. Unfortunately, within that league of action figures was a horribly misunderstood lad named Evil Chancellor Traytor.

The Chancellor just couldn't overcome his name. It's a true shame.
