#now as an adult i'm like wtf teacher it's ur own fault for forcing me to write something on the page

[unfortunatelyimaginary]

I had to attend this bible study group in 7th grade where the teacher just read through the lesson (that she also gave us a copy of that had blanks to fill) for an hour. I knew after reading through the first lesson and filling in all the blanks in in 5 minutes that it was going to be boring as hell.

For the last 15 minutes of the first class, the lady handed out blank pieces of paper and asked us to write what we were looking forward to learning in bible study that year. I sat there staring at it in a panic because I, overly truthful autistic child that I was, knew with absolute certainty that I was going to learn nothing at all from this class. I hadn't yet learned how to fake generic sounding answers like "i'm looking forward to learning about xyz" so I stared at the blank page until the teacher noticed and told me I HAD to write something. The other students were leaving, I wanted to go home, so I scribbled the word "nothing" as messily as I could in the hopes that the teacher would interpret the scribbles as something deep and thoughtful.

THE TEACHER CALLED MY MOM to tell her how extremely disrespectful I had been by writing nothing on my paper. I was so embarassed when my mom confronted me that I tried to outright lie for the only time in my existence - I said I'd written "I'm excited to learn more about the bible". My mom told me she believed me, and I immediately broke down and told her the truth. I had to write an apology letter with a list of things I wanted to learn about in bible study.

It was the most embarassing moment of my life and I never understood why I couldn't just make something up until I was diagnosed with autism many years later.

whats the stupidest thing you’ve ever done i want to laugh at others misery
