When I was young, I did not understand many things, like how was I born and where did I come from, and stuff like that. So when I was 4 years old, I got the chance to ask my parents. "Daddy and Mommy," I went, "Where did I come from??" They exchanged glances and decided that I was not old enough to understand the truth so they told me:" You fell down from the sky like a shooting star and landed on the bed." I was amazed by the words "shooting star" and thought that I was a very powerful kid. I believed that I fell down from the sky and bragged to all my friends that I was a genius. I was 8 years old when I overheard my mother talking to one of her friends. She was asking my mother which hospital was it when she gave birth to me. After that, I confronted her about the issue and she just laughed:"Of course you did not fall out of the sky like a shooting star, you were born in SJMC." Tears rolled down my cheeks, I hated my parents for lying to me. I even did not speak to them for two whole days. But when I got older, I understood that it was just a tall tale because I could not understand the truth when I was four.
