282. What Kind of Child Was I? | どんな子供だっ...

Sayuri Saying
About this episode

On a trip back to my parents’ home, I found old photos, purikura, and stories that brought my childhood back to life. Was I shy? Adventurous? Maybe a little unexpected? In this lighthearted episode, I talk about the traits that shaped little me, how some things have changed, and how others… really haven’t.
