Babe, did I ever tell u about my Aussie Grandmother?
No?! Did u?!? I feel like I would’ve remembered it if u did?
Ummm… maybe it was a draft…
Anyway I had an English homework task, maybe it was a mini assignment. I was in grade 4 or 6 or something like that. Or maybe grade 8? I can’t remember exactly but it wasn’t… before 2000s?
Right…
The task was to find an adult and interview them about their life and then write an article. Write a biography.
Oh?
Like a one or two pages. I think I wrote two pages. Anyway.
I did the interview. Aussie Grandmother told me about her life. Wrote the article. Got a B+
Oh?
I was floored. I’ve never gotten such a bad grade in ENGLISH before.
Lol?! 😅😅😅
Aussie Grandmother wanted to read the article. I didn’t tell her I got a B+
I felt so ASHAMED of myself. I got a B+ ?!??!?!?!!
I felt really bad…
I never showed her the article…
Awwwww…
She never got to read… how I wrote about her life…
Why did u get the B+ ?
I don’t remember.
I don’t remember what the teacher’s comments were.
I just felt like “oh no… I’m… not a good writer?”
And then — I don’t know how I overcame that since I obviously got better grades later…
But Aussie Grandmother was still really curious to read it.
My mother was on the phone explaining, “Sorry she feels so ashamed she only got a B+ so she doesn’t want u to read it”
And then Mum was nagging me, “She doesn’t mind that u got a B+!!! She still wants to read it! U interviewed her about her life, she wants to read how u wrote about her life!!!”
But… 🥺 I never let her read it… and I’ve lost the article now… it went in the bin somewhere… soft copy was on a floppy disk 💾 probably also binned…
Awwwwww…
She passed away… later… around 2005? 2006? I don’t remember the exact year…
Awwwwww my darling….
Ummm… I’m still a little confused, how did u have an Aussie Grandmother?
That’s another day’s story.
The point today is I had one.
I wrote an article about her life as a school assignment. But I got a B+, I was too ashamed to show her and she never got to read it before she died…
Awww… 😅😅😅 I don’t know what to say about this my love…
UR NOT COMFORTING ME LIKE THE PEOPLE IN THE PODS ON LOVE IS BLIND?!?!?!?
WAS THAT WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO?!?!?!??!?!! 😅😅😅 I’M SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW!!!
Lol jokes…
Let’s talk more about this in real life…
