this wasn't really embarressing for me, but it's a fond memory of mine from when I was 4 years old! 😊
My teacher at the time was talking to all of the children in my class what we wanted to be when we grew up. Each child was told to stand up at the front and then say what they wanted to be.
I was the 3rd child to be called to the front to state my ambition. I remember that the boy before me said that he wanted to be a doctor.
When it was my turn the teacher asked me...
Teacher: "Jesal, what are you going to be when you grow up?"
Me: "A bird!" 😊
Teacher: "A bird???" 😕
Me: "So I can fly!" 😃
My teacher looked totally devestated...
Later that day she explained to me that I should be a pilot if I wanted to fly. However, I refused based on the reasoning that it's much better to simply be able to flap your wings and fly rather than having to sit an a large chunk of metal and drive in the sky! My teacher must have realised that my intelligence was far too great so she gave up and told me that I would be a brilliant bird when I grew up! 😃
God bless.
