Okay, so I'm one of those people who has never been late for school... Yeah.
I almost was in primary school (which I'm guessing is elementary school for most people?) but my grandad had died that weekend and when we got to the school and I realised I was going to be late, I'm not ashamed to say I started bawling in the car, which resulted in my mother taking me home where I curled up with a good book and felt really proud of myself, I also felt guilty though, so I tried to "pray" to my grandad, which went a little like this:
"Hi papa Lindsey, it's Amber, I know you probably don't remember me cos all the weird stuff that muddled up your brain but I just wanted to say that we all miss you and could you please make sure that it snows this year? Thanks love you"
Yup, that's right, my grandad had died two days before that and all I had to say was a request for snow, which actually didn't come that year...
So yeah, apparently I was a horrible granddaughter who just wanted snow...
And for those of you wondering, the cover of this story is a Jumanji board, completely unrelated but I really like Jumanji so it's there 😝
