Aussie Grandmother

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…
