Before we got out of the car, my cousin said 4 words that ruined a big part of my childhood. Been awhile since I've been here. Have fun! | ||

Did the words have something to do with your father? Your cousin's father? Is the "my" in this puzzle actually you, Visconti? Or is this FYOI? About someone else? True story? Fiction? | ||

Was your cousin older than you? Is it relevant how old you were at the time? Did you immediately realize that the words will ruin your childhood? Did you have some expectations and realized that they cannot come true? Was the cousin asking something? Making a statement of fact? Did you misunderstand something? Mishear? | ||

tooth fairy relevant? Santa Claus? Some other character that children believe in but who is made up? Was what your cousin said factually accurate? Was your childhood ruined as a direct result of your cousin saying what he said? Or did it cause you to perform a certain action which is what ruined a big part of your childhood? Did he wind up ruining more of your childhood than he intended to? (You had mentioned that he had meant to ruin "a part" of your childhood, and that he had ruined "a big part"). Does "we" (as in "we got out of the car") = just you and your cousin? Or was someone (or someones) else getting out of the car with you? Would you have been told what he told you at a later time anyway? But you'd have been better prepared for it then? (for example "Santa Claus isn't real"?) Is your cousin on your dad's side? Relevant? At the time this happened, were you: Under 2 years old? 2-3 years old? 3-4 years old? In kindergarten? 1st grade? Second grade? 3rd grade? 4th grade? 5th grade? Older than 5th grade? Same age question for your cousin only add in all other grades (i.e. 6th-12th and also if he was an adult?) The "big part" of your childhood that was ruined, was it: 1 year 2 years 3 years 4 years 5 years More than 5 years? Until you turned a certain significant age? (13? 16? 18?) | ||

Not positve, but lets say 3 years older than me The "big part" of your childhood that was ruined, was it: 1 year 2 years 3 years 4 years 5 years More than 5 years? Until you turned a certain significant age? (13? 16? 18?) Since it ruined a part of my childhood, I still think about it to this day | ||

Did this movie come out in the 1970's? Before that? 80's? 90's? 1980 Star Wars trilogy? Yes "Luke, I am your father" relevant? Very... ********** SPOILER ************* I went with my cousins to see The Empire Strikes Back on May 21, 1980. A car full of boys, ready to see the next chapter in the Star Wars saga. Right before we got out of the car, my cousin, who was sitting in the front seat, turns around and says "Vader is Luke's Dad". He had finished reading the book a few days prior and spoiled the movie for the entire car full of excited boys. Til this day, every time I think about Star Wars, I remember that day when my cousin, the jerk, ruined the ending to The Empire Strikes Back. | ||
