Kario tagged me to share seven things you don't know about me. Here goes.1. I'm (mostly) ambidextrous. I can only write with my left. I can only use sissors with my right. Most other things I can do with either/both.
2. I was the kid who ate glue.
3. I tried to hold myself back a grade to repeat fifth grade. My parents started me a year early. All my friends were a grade behind me. The summer between fifth and sixth my school merged with two others. I figured, with so many new kids, I could repeat a grade without many people noticing. No stigma. A week before school started the principal called me to a meeting where he convinced me to start sixth grade and "if you're unhappy, then you can go back to fifth." Yeah, right. Like no-one would notice that. And, you know what. I was right. Would have been way better off in my right grade.
4. I can pick up things with my toes.
5. I can wink my left eye, but not my right.
6. As a kid I had such an intense phobia of anything related to death, I had to close my eyes when we drove past a cemetery.
7. I wanted to go out for the football team in 7th grade, but my parents wouldn't let me.
Key-rist, I hate that principal! What kind of kid does all that thinking/planning and doesn't already know what's best for her? Stupid principal! When will we listen to children?
ReplyDeleteDAMN! I knew tagging you was the right thing to do. How did you ever narrow it down to just seven things? You are just a walking enigma, my dear and I love it. Love that you are ambidextrous, especially because I think it says so much about your overall uniqueness.
ReplyDeleteI hope your girls can someday fully appreciate the mother they were given. If not, you just send them to me for a bit and I'll straighten them out, K?
The glue part says everything. Love all these goodies.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I know someone else who is ambidextrous; I think it is extremely cool and also signifies brilliance.
ReplyDeleteOkay, it's time to find a neighborhood football team to join, stat. (You know, in all your free time....) I bet your right hand throws a mean touchdown pass!
And you would have made such an excellent football player!! I'm gonna have to talk to your parents about that.
