The Birth of Isaac

I was found to have a Speech Impediment

I broke my arm
When I was two I thought I was Superman. I had a superman costume and everything, I was practically Superman at this point. So obviously I jumped off of the couch to the ottoman, I then tripped on the front of it, flew off and broke my arm.. That day gave me a phobia of needles as I got to the hospital and got an IV. -

I stuck a staple in the outlet
In first grade while I was watching a video on the 50 states in class I saw a staple on the ground and thought, "Hey, this fits right in the outlet." It almost immediately emitted tons of sparks and I started crying AND my teacher yelled at me. It was a rough day and for months later I thought I would randomly get electrocuted. However it's a good story so 10/10 would recommend. -
I cheated on a test and got caught.
In second grade we took a test and I would have had a 100 but on 7+7 I accidentally put 1 and forgot the 4 so I just added the 4 on and went up to my teacher and told her I messed up and then she knew I didn't so then I got screamed at and I never cheated again cause cheaters don't learn. -

In fourth grade my teacher to teach us about taxes gave us an entire cup of skittles for the day. Through out the day she would randomly give us taxes that were bull crap like Josh got hurt everybody give him a skittle and when I tried resisting she fined me all of my skittles. This was the day I became a Republican cause I wanted to pay less taxes and not pay other people with my taxes. -
I saved up for my Xbox
In the summer between 4th grade and 5th grade I really wanted an Xbox but it was to expensive to ask for for Christmas or my birthday so I had to save up for it and I did some work to get money and then when it was my birthday I only asked for cash and I finally got enough money for my Xbox and to buy star wars battlefront. This taught me how to save my money but also that when you work for something you want it more. -
