This happened 13 years ago, when I was 8 years old. I was big into Yu-Gi-Oh! and because of this, I always wanted more cards. Being as my family was poor, my Mom and Dad never bought me any new cards unless it was a special occasion like my birthday or for Christmas.

One day my cousin is over and we get the bright idea to draw our own cards. I thought this was hands down the greatest idea I had ever heard of. So we grab some colored pencils, paper, and get to work on drawing our cards.

This is where the fuck up happens. Being 8 years old, I had very little artistic skill, so I just drew things the best I could. I decided I wanted to make all the Forbidden One cards because who DOESN’T want Exodia in their deck?

As I’m drawing one of the Arms of the Forbidden One, my Dad walks in and asks what we’re doing and we show him. He grabs the paper I’m drawing on and gets a concerned look on his face.

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DRAWING?”

I’m incredibly confused and tell him I’m drawing all the Pieces of the Forbidden One. He immediately thinks that this must include “The Giant Veiny Dick of the Forbidden One”.

Being from the South and raised in a very strict Christian household, anything pornographic in nature was a big No-no. I try to explain to him that it’s one of The Arms of the Forbidden One, but he’s having none of it. He confiscates all of my paper and pencils and sends me to my room.

Fast forward a week later, I’m getting counseling because my parents now think I’m gay and am drawing penis monsters because Satan is trying to coerce me into evil.

I was in said counseling for 3 years until my parents got caught with meth and I was placed in custody with my Aunt and Uncle who didn’t think I was a gay Satanist.

TL;DR I drew fake Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards and my Dad thought I was drawing giant dicks and put me into counseling for 3 years because I was turning into a gay Satanist.
