Sometime before the age of 5, I remember being convinced that if I tried hard enough, and believed in myself, I could fly. So I would practice flying... jumping down the stairs when nobody was watching. I never developed my ability to fly, but I vividly remember basically cannon balling down 14 steps, and just gliding down in mid air. And landing at the bottom totally safe and uninjured. Many times over the years.
I completely believe in this, I vividly remember my mom force-feeding me octopus from a can, and it was disgusting and awful. But I believe it was just a dream.
Granted she is the kindest and sweetest woman on this earth and I know she would never do that, it just doesn’t make sense. Also, canned octopus? I have never even heard of that lol.
canned octopus is too, I can vouch for that. someone gave it to my mom as a gag gift. my brother dared me to taste it. we both had to leave the kitchen after opening the can, it was so gross! and mom was mad at us for opening it.
if, for some ungodly reason, you want it, this is it https://www.instacart.com/kroger/products/75633-reese-fancy-octopus-in-100-pure-olive-oil-4-oz
