I know many people state how they knew they were FAs when they were younger. I am one of them! It occurred to me the other day - is there any quantitative data, other than my own perceptions of my reactions as a child?
So it festered in my mind. I was just rooting through my files looking for my tax information (ugh) when I came across this short story, written when I was ten for a school asignment. Theme - anything about fruit! It made me laugh at the (in retrospect) FA-ness...Squashing, immobility, overeating, rolling, wobbling...
Just made me giggle!
"Once upon a time there lived an orange. He was a big ripe soft orange. He sat in the sun in a field. He would wobble up to apples and oranges and he would sit on them and take their juice and drink it!
One day Mr. Orange was sitting in the sun when a farmer came up and picked some oranges. Mr. Orange was afraid because he had just had five apples and three oranges! He could not move. The farmer came and picked him up and said "Oh last time I must have not seen this one. I'll make big bucks out of this one. I'll sell it for $50.00!!!"
The fat orange was frightened but he made an effort to roll off and he did. He looked up at the farmer who was almost out of sight like a ghost in the wind. He knew he had been very lucky."
