before the plane took off my mother would always hand me a sweet. it's the cheap kind of sweet that you suck on slowly and has some fruit grape taste and is wrapped in transparent wrapping material. somehow even though mostly i never really wanted to eat it but because she gave it to me i would just suck on the sweet, and it was only years later as i grew up and learnt useful things like physics and pressure that i would realise she was giving us the sweet to suck on so that sucking on it would help to regulate the pressure difference between our body contents and the external atmosphere when the plane takes off, so our ears wouldn't pop and feel weird.

some small things you only grow to appreciate when you're older.

someday i would like to be the one to give a sweet to someone.
