Pour me another
Two tales . Ready?
1. Today on the car ride home (from school), somehow the topic of how I came to be arose. Apparently the birth control my mom was on at the time didn't quite work out. The manufacturer accidentally switched up the order of the pills in the package. Basically the one's that were supposed to stop the whole baby-process from happening were actually blanks, causing many of it's customers to become pregnant, one being my mom. Hi, I'm Aaron, and I was a "surprise". Not a mistake.
2. Today in english while I was working hard on an essay, the teacher was just kind of hanging out and telling the class their scores on the HS exit exam. I ignored it at first, until curiosity gripped me with it's bright red hands and punched me in the face. I was a little worried for some reason though. I could remember the day when we took these cursed tests. Especially the math portion. I had been sick, my braces hurt, and I was just generally not in a test-taking state of mind. I thought to myself, "how lame would it be to have to re-take that. Better yet, how STUPID would I look?". Eventually I told my teacher all of this, and she simply stated "oh I remember seeing that you'd passed." I was a little more at ease, but still nervous for some reason. Finally she checked and said, "uhm yeah Aaron, I'm looking at the scores of my advanced class, and, yours are higher than THEIRS. You totally passed." And just looked at me like I was an idiot. I was wrong?
