The first time you questioned authority?
As a child my mother had me convinced that I was allergic to chocolate. I'm not sure exactly when I figured out that I wasn't, but somewhere along the way my story became "I'm only allergic to chocolate in large doses." Then as I got older I realized what my mom had done, by telling me I was allergic to chocolate, she put down a rule that I couldn't eat it. Now I don't question the fairness of the rule, because now as an adult I don't have much of a taste for sweets, but I do question her implementation of said rule. Though I have to wonder if I would do the same in her place, especially given our candy coated world, where every other commercial seems to be about chocolate or some other sugary snack.
