Tissue Roses from The Past
My 2nd grade teacher caught me playing with a rose made of tissues my older sister had given to me. (Okay, we were poor and this was a play toy...) The teacher asked me if I knew how to make the rose and because I wanted desperately to impress her I said yes. She asked me to show the whole class the very next day.
I got my first taste of cramming before an exam. My sister showed me how to make the rose and I practiced over and over again. Before my demonstration the next day, I kept my hands inside my desk practicing over and over again. I paid no attention to the lesson of the day and got scolded for the first time by a teacher. It ruined the whole experience for me and I skipped an entire step in my demonstration so noone in the class ever learned how to make the rose properly while mine always turned out pretty.

Well...except when I'm vindicating myself. |

I inadvertantly left the step out but after I realized that I did, I never did show anyone how to fix it. Maybe this is where the vindictive part of me started??? And you know I'm normally pretty nice... |

It's actually a question. I was unable to define while reading this, whether or not the step you left out of your demonstration was intentional or not. Did you leave it out accidentally due tho the stress caused you by being reprimanded by a teacher, or did you leave the step out on purpose to get back at them and always have a prettier flower??
Yes, I have an idea, but I have to ask anyway!! (You know I just HATE loose ends!!) |
