I remember when I was about 9 I thought up a stupid, simple poem thing to explain a thunder and lightning scene, that went "bang, bang, crash, crash, rumble, rumble, flash, flash". Then after playtime I asked the teacher if I could say it out loud to the class - God knows why, because ordinarily I was too timid to stand in front of the whole class and speak, but I seemed to have to do this. The class went dead silent while I read out the words, and I could almost hear the other kids thinking "what is the purpose of this?" The teacher stood next to me and praised me for my simple little...whatever it was, and he told the class how it described a thunderstorm.
We weren't studying thunderstorms in class or anything. Just remembering that moment still makes me cringe.
Well its not as bad as when I insisted on wearing a costume dress to school, my mom told me it was a bad idea but I was insisting so she let me to go to school in it. And f*ck I can still hear the laughter about it and I had brought a sash with me and tried to like put that over my head to make it better, and that only made my classmates and teacher laugh harder. I mean looking back as an observor I may have laughed too but as a little girl it really hurt my feelings.
