A nickname I was given before I was even in preschool, continued into kindergarten and beyond for a while until people just didn’t want to speak about me. Here is where it came from.
“A.E.I.” a small man nicknamed, “Templeton” said he broke my jawbone to be more important at that company. I was around 3-4 years old. Rumor is one of the early Jeff’s paid for the repair work.
On a very different occasion, in another place on the planet I was SHOT BY A DART, likely a tranq. The dart LODGED IN MY JAWBONE. I was a child, it caused the jaw not to grow properly on that side even after repaired. I was somewhere between 4-7 years old.
Honolulu, HI. A small oriental looking man, claiming he could not repeat me well battered me. He hit my face and head, woke me up to tell me this. I was around 9-11 years old. Not absolutely certain the year.
Some have claimed my jaw was broken because I, “Was not who I said I was.” This was said to me as a youth. Who did you think I was? I ask this twice now. WHO DO YOU THINK I WAS? Did I stop using the name “Steven” and that upset people? Did you think I was NOT “Sarah”? Third time. WHO DO YOU THINK I WAS… AM?
“Templeton” was KNOWN to use the name “Steven” more than I did, by the way. I feel people knew him much better in Los Angeles, CA in the 1970s than me.
