Isn't that right?

My mom was actually the first American everyone the world championships in judo.

And she has a PhD in psychology.

So she's really great at really messing with the mind of someone young to make them into a champion so she would randomly attack me around the house.

Seriously, your mom would randomly, How old are you at the time?

Like 11 or 12.

That's fine.

Yeah, eso like watching TV.

I would always have my back up against something cause she would sneak up behind me and, like, coming over your naked choke and always be ready.

Like I had, like, a tick.

Wait a minute.

Yeah.

This is how you grew up.

Your mother attacking you and choking you whenever you're not looking.

She skipped that part.

That's incredible.

But I guess it worked.
