Posted by / July 14, 2014

Everybody’s childhood is a little different.  Some people play with action figures, some people join a little league team, and some people save their brother from drowning in a swamp in Belize.

Cracked’s new series of “personal experience” article delivers again, with a Panamanian woman describing her family’s long trek to cross the US border in search of a better life, and the five strangest things that happened to her.  A good example is the aforementioned swamp crosing from Belize into Mexico, where the author learned that coyotes apparently like to scare children with tales of how treacherous the terrain is.  The swamp her little brother almost “drowned” in, that claimed many lives according to the coyote? Only shoulder deep.
