When Sheena was 11, she learned the power of positive thinking.

Guess what? Thinking positive works.

Because yesterday, when it was my first swimming lesson for AquaQuest 11,

someone threw up in the pool.

I was so happy.

I started thinking positive today, and someone pooed in the pool.

So always think positive, exclamation mark.

That's Sheena, reading from the diary she kept in grade six.

And this?

This is it. This is grown-ups read they wrote as kids. Welcome. Hello. I'm Dan Meisner and grownups read things

they wrote as kids is exactly what it sounds like. Brave adults live on stage reading diaries,

poetry, short stories, and other amazing finds from their past. This time,

recorded live at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, we have letters to the tooth fairy, a pair

of stolen baseball tickets, and advice on keeping and losing your virginity. This stuff is weird and

wonderful, and it can shed a little light on why we

turned out this way. So think about who you were when you were a kid, and stick around.

When Fabiola was 13, she created a list of rules for herself when it came to boys.

Rules like...

Keep control. Don't ever give him the upper hand.

Dot, dot, dot, ever.

Or this one.

The tables can turn.
