Tenth Helpings is a humor column from Food52's culture critic, Ella Quittner.
I am a Child of the 'Corn. I was born in 1991 in Long Island — not on, never on — and so I spent much of my youth perusing the Lisa Frank section of our local Rite Aid. Once every few months, I was permitted to buy a pack of stickers, with which I would decorate everything from the plastic-sheathed diary I toted around but rarely wrote in, to the wall of my bedroom closet.
