When I was 3, I saw wrestling on TV. (My dad was watching it) I kept
seeing them pick up their opponent, flipping them upside-down, and
smashing them into the mat. Naturally, I believed I should be able to, as
well. So I attempted it on my dog. My dog was a pretty big Schnauzer,
so all I succeeded in doing was ripping my dog's collar off, hurling it across
the room, and allowing it to strike my mom's head with extreme force.
I believed I could do that to anyone until I was 14.
