Past, about 8 years ago.

Raph (7) was taking care of everyone. Mikey (5) was peacefully building with blocks, while Leo and Donnie (both 6) played soccer. Raph was watching them. Master Splinter was working on lunch for all the little turtles. You (4) were excitedly watching Splinter cook. Since you were still a toddler, you couldn’t actually cook. But splinter gave you a spoon anyway so you could pretend to cook with him.

(You are a snapping turtle, so you have spikes.)
