Anyways, when I was in grade six, everybody kind of knew me as the 'smart kid'. So of course, I did 'smart kid' stuff. For instance, when everybody else was paying attention to the teacher, I was reading or doing my own thing. I didn't really pay attention much that year, the school work was easy, and it didn't take much effort.
So, I was reading, and I vaguely hear a question from my teacher. Of course, I ignore it, knowing the answer.
But--to my surprise--my spidey senses start tingling. I can FEEL the eyes watching me. So I look up, and everybody is staring at me. "What's the answer?" They asked me, and I stare dumbly at them for a while, amused that they automatically assumed that I know the answer.
So, I reply with an exasperated, "Do it yourself." And they did end up doing it themselves (with the teacher's help), but nonetheless, from that point on, whenever a difficult question arose, my spidey senses would tingle.
Anyways, I've always found that amusing. Not sure if you do too. But, I'd love to read a post on an experience, be it funny or sad, or even just a favourite quote.
"It is easier to fight for ones beliefs than to live up to them."
I like this post, Sam! It's a great way to lighten things up! :')
