"Miss, you are intelligent right?"
I went "Huh?" pretending not to hear him even though the question was simple, clear and concise bc please, I needed time to assess what he meant by that question.
His face: didn't look confused.
His tone: wasn't demeaning.
His reason: error 404
and so he went again,
"You are Actually intelligent right?" now with his eyebrows raised and a smile.
but being the insecure potato I was, I went "What?" again, hoping he'd just stop bc lol I know I might have looked like a clown with a big red nose to him at the moment but I swear I wasn't always like that T___T however he persistently asked that every cell in my brain had to aggressively typed some possible answers for me to tell him and the answer that my brain had deemed the best at that moment? it's this:
"Uh-huh yeah I guess..?"
lmaaaaaoooo which of my brain cell intern came up with this? gurl can't even confidently say "Yes" sdjkskdjsd to a seven year-old! or you know what? a humble answer would have been much cooler like "Oh no, I am still learning" or "I don't think so, you are more intelligent than me I bet" like ??????????
but before I could alter my answer, the kid just walked away smiling after exclaiming "Oh yes, I know you are!" eye-?
what? what is this behavior? come back and explain!!! Geez. now im probably really just a clown to him kan? *cries while taking this clown makeup off*
