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...

SallyOh my word, this kid was strange. She was strange in so many ways, I shall list but a few.
Background...Sally did a project for me at University (I'm a PhD ubergeek) and I quickly realised how utterly bonkers she was.
Three of her highlights were. No food was allowed to touch on her plate, and she eat them separately. When I asked her about this she seemed to believe that was the only way to eat food. Cue me asking, what about gravy...she was mortified at the prospect of such a 'connecting' fluid being used with food.
Whenever Sally saw a post office van she would hit herself in the leg! No matter what. Carrying 8 bags of heavy shopping, stop for a quick interlude of leg punching! Once she thought she saw one in the distance, hit herself, then as it came past she realised it was just a red van, so she wiped it off and put it in her pocket (the punch, not the van) for next time!
And finally one of my favourites, she always had to wear something pink. Always. So I asked her what about sleeping, pink pyjamas. What about showering, pink hair bobble. What about washing her hair in the shower, pink shampoo. What about washing her hair at someone else's house where there was no pink shampoo, total horror. Complete fear swept over her face. I had found her a place where she would have to go pinkless. She simply finished for the day and went home.
Absolutley raving, madder than a box of badgers.
Apologies for length, its not often you see one that size from a geek.
