Andrew J. Lederer

is a tape of me and him interacting when i was a teenager.

when he recorded it, he said he wanted to play it back for me years later to show me how i was acting. years later, when he found it, he heard how he sounded and it made him cry.

back then, he played it for me and, frankly, i wasn't freaked out by it since i knew how he sounded.

i asked him about it a couple weeks ago and he said he had always vowed he would destroy it if he came across it again but he had never again encountered it.

now he says maybe he did find it at some point in the past and threw it away.

hey -- this was a recording of our real life.

sure, it made him cry but why did he want to destroy it?

'cause it reminded him of the truth?

so, he wouldn't have to change?

if so, he didn't really learn anything from listening to tape, did he?
