Tucker Non-Fiction

  I am the smart kid who does what he is told. I did not choose to be that kid, it just so happened that I got into Uni (thus the smartness), and that after 13 years of not doing what your parents tell you, you learn that there might be a benefit to listening to them.  This was not always true though. I would have fake panic attacks and throw remotes at TVs, I would try to fake a sickness every week to get out of school to the point were my dad read me ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’.

In a cruel act of karma, many of the people I talked to had IQ’s of 130, 140, 150. I was annoyed and a little sad.  I had handaly lost the trash talking battle. In this case it was something stupid.
