I had a really good childhood / homelife, with 2 sisters, one brother and on occasion one or two kids that we looked after for the children's age as foster kids. My mother was a nurse, but retired to stay at home, and my father was a highschool teacher for German and English. They stayed together, with the regular issues of a married couple, and pretty well left us to our own devices in the sense that we played outside, went bike riding, catching crayfish and stuff, with piano, swimming and accordian lessons thrown in with the baseball and hockey.

Pretty middle class idyllic Canadian eh?

But I do recall something that really sucked. The attitude at school of a certain kid who obviously thought that my German surname was a target. I got into a major school yard fight in grade 6 because he repeatedly called me a Nazi, and said that my father loved Hitler and was a Nazi too. He did it in such a way that it really goaded me. So I was hauled off to the office. My parents were called. But once the story was related, the principal gave the kid the detentions, and I just got a warning not to resort to fighting.
