These past few days, I often read about a prompt or challenge made by @bmjc98 It is titled “Getting To Know You More Challenge: When I Was A Kid”. Many authors have participated and shared their cute and funny experiences when they’re kids. Again, I had a fun time reading your works and realized that I should also do mine. Thanks to @Corpsekunno for tagging me!
Without further ado, let’s start!
When I was a kid, the whole class betrayed me
This incident has happened during my kindergarten years. I am a shy boy and I don’t socialize with others. I am just there, sitting and listening to my teacher. To be honest, I can’t remember if I really exist at that time, lol.
Anyways, there’s a time where our teacher asked us to behave because she will go out for some reason. Soon as my teacher leaves the room, my classmates started to play and run outside. I have no idea what they’re doing, all I know is that it is indeed fun. As a curious kid, I joined them and act chaotically; I run, run and run!
Several minutes later, when my teacher reached our room, she became mad and asked who’s the one who started the mess. Without any hesitation, the whole class points their fingers at me. I can’t believe that these kids betrayed me.
My teacher approached and scold me without asking if the accusation is true or not. However, I don’t know what entered my mind and I unintentionally laughed while my teacher is reprimanding me. Because of that, my teacher gets furious and called my parents to the principal office.
To my classmates back then, this song is for you 😂
When I was a kid, I like eating toothpaste.
Yes, you read it right 😆. It all started in a curiosity. As a child who’s exposed to television back then, I see movie scenes that they don’t spit after brushing their teeth - they just swallow it. After watching that movie, my curiosity sparked, and later that day I tried tasting the flavor of our toothpaste. I instantly became addicted to it. However, this behavior is eventually stopped as I aged.
When I was a kid, I got anxious with my childhood friends.
I have a pretty bad childhood. It’s so sad to know that my childhood friends are the ones who caused it. Until now, because of them, I have had social anxiety and it really affects my personality. I don’t want to dive deeper into the details.
When I was a kid, I am fascinated by tropical cyclones and other weather disturbances.
While others are scared of the devastating effect of extreme weather, I am here fascinated by it. To be honest, every time my classmates ask me what I want to be in the future, I will tell them that I want to be a meteorologist or weatherman. I believe that in my batch, I am the only one who has a unique dream profession - all of them want to be engineers, doctors, architects, accountants, etc. As far as I can remember, back then, I will sketch an imaginary weather station and I will play like they are trying to stop a typhoon.
However, as time goes by you will realize that the world doesn’t stay the same and there are things that you need to let go of. Here I am, planning to take Computer Science in college.
When I was a kid, I created a farewell letter to my crush.
I am just 6-7 years old back then when I had a crush on this girl in our class. My close friend also has a crush on her and I hate him for also choosing the same girl. Like, there are many other girls in the room 😒. Throughout the school year, we had this love triangle setup, lol.
My friend won that battle- she chose that stupid jerk, charot. As a manipulative sad boy, I created a handwritten letter saying that I will go far away and this might be our last talk. Of course, that’s not true and I just want her to feel guilty and doubt her decision of choosing my friend over me HAHAHAHA.
Unfortunately, I am not able to send that letter because of some reason. My mother discovered that letter in my room and stored it in a file case. I don’t know what entered my mind, but when I found out that letter years later, I threw it away. That time, I feel it’s so cringing hahaha.
Thank you to my sponsors, upvoters, silent readers, commenters, and critics for keeping me motivated in writing 💯. I am just a speck of dust floating in the wind without you
