We climbed out, laughing dizzily, and I felt something commensurate to love: I had survived the monster, and all I wanted was togo back and be tossed around again.\u003Cbr>from “The Monster of Kings Island” |  |\n| Dubious | And every summer I was spared the horror of the world’s longest wooden roller coaster by being too short to clear Scooby-Doo’s outstretched paw in the park’s dubious measuring system of emotional and physical maturity.\u003Cbr>from “The Monster of Kings Island” |  |\n| Embody | I remember the snacks Mom told me she ate when she was a kid and how I tried to imagine her at my age. I wanted to like all the things she did, to embody her completely.\u003Cbr>from “Crying in H Mart” |  |\n\n\n| Endear | In South Africa back then, it wasn't common to find a white person or a colored person who spoke African languages; during apartheid white people were always taught that those languages were beneath them.
