I’m gonna go ahead and say it… I wish I could experience a Childhood like Rocket is going to have. (I was gonna say “I wish I was rocket”, but as I typed it out, it struck me as a bit creepy for some reason… Not really sure why) ---

True. But i was talking about the yoyo aspect of it, never having any friends in one certain spot and always moving. Just seems like the quintessential “teen hates parents and what they do” plotline to me… ---

They have a home in a burb of Boston. They are there most of the time. It’s not like they never have a home. They aren’t military or anything. lol They do a show then go home. I grew up in a similar fashion. My parents are artists and they sold their work at art shows all over the US. I have been to all the lower 48 states. I wouldn’t trade it in for the world. ---

the higby house is HEAVEN. got a yo-yo museum, crazy space-age decor (in a 3-story log cabin), a wooded lot with a stream (with otters!). ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/a/f/2aff9ff9a447ff9c24c9a4dbf5dc19cb81c0a0f8.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/8/f/18f17bac8ec7423c0d5cbcf6641a1b60862fd835.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/b/a/8ba751015ff463a3fc1d5a3481d665a30bebdf1e.jpeg) and try as i might, imagining a higby with serious ‘angst’ seems pretty unnatural. they’re some of the most chill people i’ve ever met. they’ve just got it together, and i’m pretty sure t-rocket will follow in those footsteps. ---
