Cheater No More
When I was around 5 years old, I was all set to play a game of Candyland with my mom. However, my baby sister began crying, so my mom briefly stepped away to tend to her. At that moment, I hatched a mischievous plan: I decided to manipulate the game to ensure my victory! I discreetly placed the card that moves you close to the finish line on top of the deck. When my mom returned, I insisted on drawing the first card. As a result, after the initial turn, I found myself almost at the end of the game board while my mom was still near the start.
But during my next turn, luck turned against me as I drew a card that sent me back towards the start, while my mom drew a card that propeÂlled her closer to the finish line. As a result, I ended up losing the game. That day taught me an important lesson about fair play, and I haven’t resorted to cheÂating since then.
Happy Valentines Day
Back in my university days, I had a brieÂf relationship with a girl that was quickly fizzling out. One night, after she had been partying, she came over to my place and suggested we go see a movie together. But as we walkeÂd to the cinema, another inteÂnse argument erupteÂd between us, pushing me to end things right then and thereÂ. She stubbornly refused to accept it for nearly an hour, leading to a heateÂd exchange before finally walking away in tears. The whole situation left me feeling upseÂt and disappointed. Almost immediately after, I reached out to my closest frieÂnd and asked if he wanted to grab a drink so we could unwind from the unfortunate events of the day.
After hanging up, I glanced at the date – February fourteenth. It dawned on me that I had broken up with my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day without even realizing it. I let out a sigh and began my journey to my friend’s place. That’s when an unexpected mishap occurred – I got hit by a bus. It wasn’t a major catastrophe, but it was certainly painful.
