The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

Karma will find everyoneno need to justify your actions, it will catch up with everyone as necessary.
Kids are cruel, but if we all learn from it and try and pass on that knowledge we can make a difference. We would all do things differently with hindsight. I wish some people would have helped me on occasion, but now i try and help others as it helps me to think that i can reduce their shite a little bit. I probably wouldn't understand unless i had been on the wrong side of a load of activities myself.
Our weird kid was also ginger, had a spitting speach impedement and was of average intelligence.
He did not have the co-ordination to scissor jump a 60cm highjump. I think that was the clinical gingerness he suffered from. He rolled a shot put down his back as it was way to heavy for him. He hit his head with a javelin as he tried to flick it like throwing a tennis ball forgetting if you turn it 90 degrees as you throw your head is in the way.
He raced his dog across the park every morning and when he won, he did a linford christie fist pump down on one knee.
What he was good at was a question of sport. Uber Genius. just didn't get anything wrong. Golf. Boxing. Table tennis. Rugby. Which for an 11 year old was very weird. Where did he find this out - it was before the internet? Especially when all we understood was lego and that some girls had bra's.
Still puzzles me today
