Christmas

I am well aware that I’m not one of the most intelligent people, I say dumb things, and I occasionally ask dumb questions. I’m surrounded every day, by very smart people, so that makes it even worse. My friends are smart, my family coworkers. These people are my friends, but sometimes they can make me feel very dumb because, well, I’m not the brightest when it comes to certain things. I may ask questions sometimes, that people I don’t know would look at me dumb founded for, but, luckily, my friends and family have accepted my lack of knowledge, and although I do get made fun of for it every now and then, I know they only mean well.

There was one question in particular, that may have been at one of my lower points in life, but it was honestly just for confirmation, and although Luchini, Kiera and Nik didn’t look at it that way, it gave us all a good laugh. Well more like something for them to make fun of me about for the rest of the school year, and probably the rest of my life, knowing Luchini. Just a little back story before I reveal what this question was, this did happen this year, and I asked the question without hardly any hesitation, but everybody has those days, right?

So, a few months back while I was in the process of getting my passport, I was sitting in Luchini’s classroom, waiting for the say to be over so I could go home and take a nap because high school is tiring. I was in the room with Luchini, Kiera and Nik, some of my close friends, and a teacher I really respect and look up to filling out the paper, and I needed my parent’s information, such as, birthday’s, emails, work and so on. I had been working on filling this paper out because I needed my passport as soon as possible, and it was the end of the school day so my brain wasn’t feeling like doing too much work. Anyway, I was filling out my dad’s section of the paper and I know his birthdays the day after Christmas, but I’m very bad with actual dates of things, so I wasn’t positive of Christmas was the 24th or the 25th, I know, this is even low for me. So, naturally, I ask, “Is Christmas on the 25th?”. The three of them in the room just die of laughter, as they are firing shots at me because, yes, I really did just ask if Christmas is on the 25th. Even after time passed, they would still talk about it. Luchini brings it up almost every time I see him in the hall, he never passes up the opportunity. Looking back at it, it was an extremely dumb question, and they all made that very clear, I literally could’ve just looked it up on my phone, but instead I voiced it out loud and I regret it to this day.
