What happened to you when you were young that you didn't understand until years later, potentially not safe for work?

I was in L.A. at the age of 10 and ended up with sunburn as I am English and not used to the heat.

My dad took me to the restroom where we shared a stall and he helped me take my t-shirt off so that he could reapply after sun.

This was pretty painful. I was screaming inside a locked stall, saying that it hurt,

so was surprised when a burly guy forced open the door,

looking quite annoyed at my dad,

who explained correctly what was happening.

I grimaced through the pain and agreed as best as possible.

Only years later that I realized that burly guy was a top loke and that the pain he was

trying to save me from wasn't that kind of chafing. TLDR, a nice, bear-like man, made sure I wasn't

being inappropriately touched by my own father. I found a butt inside my dad's closet when I was six.

A butt. Looking back on it now, it was probably an adult toy,

just something he made to look like a women's butt. Either way, I pulled it out of his closet

and was sitting next to it on the couch when he got home from work. I was a lonely kid. Edit,

I'm a girl. When me and my sister were around the ages of eight and six, we gave her mom a necklace

for her birthday.

She was about 36 years old at that time.

It was a blue-slash-green twinkling necklace, and we thought it was perfect for mom because

she loves glitter and jewelry.

She wore it at every occasion she had guests for dinner and similar.

We were very proud of our gift because she liked it so much that she wore it all the time.

Years later, I realized that it was an ugly piece of crap.
