just remembered a little song my mother used to wake me up with as a kid... something along the lines of "good morning dear worries, I see you're back again. did you sleep as nicely as I did? Well alright then"

pretty dark sarcastic stuff to sing to your kindergarten/primary school age kid each morning while waking them up for the day (in her defence, I've had sleep issues since birth and was always super difficult to wake up in the mornings. each day was a fight getting me out of bed and ready for the day. wouldn't wish that on anyone. probably was her way to cope and stop herself from punching/dragging me out of bed and yelling or something. I should be grateful)

#and as a kid i didn't catch the meaning of course!!! it was such a happy tune too and i was simply glad my mother sang to me #and paid at least some attention to me. just now realising how weird it all was in retrospect...#hate those random childhood memories resurfacing at the most inopportune times #like yeah of course i'm glad i can still remember things i thought were just a black void due to memory issues #but does it all have to be such dark stuff? did i ever have purely nice experiences as a kid?#or was it all tinged with some level of slightly traumatic shit?????
