"Lost my stuffed animal (a white dog) in the airport in Miami when I was 5. It was my favorite and I was really sad about it. A few weeks later my mom presented me with a brown dog that otherwise looked exactly like the white one I’d lost. She said the workers at the airport had found it and mailed it to us, but he got a tan because he was in Florida. Bought it hook line and sinker for a few years. Tan dog is now my son’s and he’s a big fan :)"
anyways Uncle Jackie says "dont push that button, the car will take off and fly" i totally believed it and every time i went to press it he'd say "dont do it, the wigs are broken and we'll launch like a rocket"
#8 right around that time my sister and cousin we're babysitting me and told me after i swallowed my gum that a gum tree was going to grow in my stomach
i woke up screaming and my parents were over yelling "WHAT'S WRONG?" i started blabbing about how a gum tree was growing in my stomach.
months earlier i lost one of my kidneys and when it happened i was rolling on the ground when it ruptured screaming in pain so my parents thought something else had happened.
my sister and cousin were never allowed to babysit me after that
That's not even how the story went, she was a genius before she read any books. Maybe you need not to read more but understand what you read.
