20 anecdotes, part three
11. During the same year (Grade 4), I was asked by my utterly horrible Homeroom teacher to strip in front of the class. No, not out of utter sadism, but one of my classmates caught my friend and I engaging in *very shocking* sexual conversations. She told our Homeroom teacher about it, and in her *shock*, she asked me to strip in front of the class. I don't know if it was in jest (I doubt) but what am I to do? I'm a growing kid. I need to know these things.
12. One of the worst things I did as a kid I did during the sixth grade. For our Home Economics class, we were asked to create a lantern. I did not pass any lantern, but inadvertently passed a project as my own. Inadvertently. Hindi sinasadya. When asked by my teacher if I passed the project, I rose up and positively sputtered: "Pinass ko na po." She then asked for witnesses who saw me pass the lantern, and many raised their hands. I was dumbfounded. It turned out that the lantern I carried for my friend was the lantern they saw. What a narrow escape!
13. Same year. I used the money my parents gave me for my Ateneo de Davao High School application forms to buy a Hardy Boys book, which was unusually high-priced. I was not able to take the exam. Thank God I passed the Pisay exam or I would have ended up in the ditch.
14. Same year. I didn't go home early in favor of a Sailor Moon Playstation game with my friends. MOON BUNNY POWER! Hah.
15. And then came high school. I was not the opposite of who I was in grade school, but to a certain extent, I was. I was more academic, thinking more of how to raise my grades, and I was nicer and kinder to my parents and to others, and I was less rash and clumsy. However, this does not mean that I had no moments of weakness. I had moments of weakness. Consider for instance the time when we played agawan-base for PE and I tripped over my own feet. I skidded across the cement ground and got my elbows and knees scraped. I had to go to the clinic to have it cleaned and gauzed. That was a fun afternoon!
The last set of anecdotes will come soon. Hahaha. This is way too fun. I don't have to think of creative posts anymore! Kidding. Regular programming will be back after the last set of anecdotes.
