Today I just felt like sharing a quick funny story because my family and I were talking about it last night!
Once upon a time, in 8th or 9th grade, one of my classes was having a discussion about Euthanasia. You know...intentionally ending someone's life in order to free them of pain. However, I must have only been half paying attention.
So at the end of class, my teacher told us she wanted us to write a paper by the end of the week on Euthanasia and its effects, etc etc. As soon as we got out of class, I panicked! I hadn't paid attention at all (rebel without a cause). Someone in class told me we were to write a paper on Euthanasia. Still, I panicked.
I went to the library that night and got all sorts of books and looked up articles and stories online and everything I could.
So what was the problem? Well since I hadn't been paying attention...like, AT ALL, I ended up researching and writing a paper on the YOUTH IN ASIA. Aka....kids in Asia. Yup. I'm dumb.
I wrote about how there were laws in China about families only having one child to prevent over-population, gender imbalance, and anything else that related to the YOUTH IN ASIA. My teacher said she laughed so hard she couldn't fail me. But since I didn't do it right, I ended up with a C on the paper. I'll take it!
So I wish I could tell you I'm making this up...sadly, I am not.
Go ahead. Laugh!
I do! And so does everyone else that knows this story!
And I promise you I did graduate high school with honors! I'm not a real dummy!
Now, all of y'all know :-)

That is hilarious!! I'm pretty sure I've done many things equally retarded. Mine usually involve asking really embarrassing questions at the wrong time.
Erica... any time someone said Euthenasia for years, I thought they were saying Youth in Asia. And I'd always be like hmm why are people for or against this... seems like its going to exist no matter what.
haha we are both dummies ; )
