WHAT’S PLAYING: Jimmy Reed “Found Love”
Lesson #5: If a representative from the State Board of Education asks you what you want to be when you grow up, DO NOT say assassin.
I was five for goodness sake! Still, I had to talk to a couple of mental health professionals before they would let me back in school.

You would’ve been my kind of playmate! ROFL.

LOL. You would have been the only one. After that, all the other kids avoided me for some reason…

Thanks, Janice. I just wish I could tell childhood stories that didn’t make me sound like a potential psychotic/mad scientist/complete idiot.

Awesome! I don’t think my wife has learned this *yet*, so she writes about assassins instead.

Writing about assassins is probably safer than announcing to your entire kindergarten class that you actually wanted to be one. I thought my teacher was going to have a stroke.
