Reply #87: Well, she really hated me for some reason

[AlienGirl]

I was in first grade, I have no idea what I did that got an adult professional to hate me at age six, but it must've been something! She was always annoyed that I ate slowly and was picky about food; she had a rule that kids had to eat a certain amount of each thing on their plate within a certain time, and the fact that I didn't (often couldn't, due to textures of some foods and whatnot) gave her fits.

I wrote a story, The Kid Who Jumped about my first-grade experiences. Everything in the story is as it happened except that there was no sympathetic teacher's assistant, and it did not end the way it does in the story. I probably made "my" character too sympathetic, too, but that's creative license for ya!
