I also got kicked out of advanced choir in primary school for enjoying it too much.

I never actually got an explanation (just a "You. Out. Now!") but I guess I was just feeling the music too much and looked like I wasn't taking it seriously or was just messing about 🤷‍♀️

Writing my name on the new exercise book I was about to use, while teacher was introducing the lesson.

She threw a fit at me for "doodling" (assumed I wasn't listening?) and was very much not interested in proof to the contrary.

Only detention I ever got. The unfairness still annoys me!

Lmao brain twins again! 🧠👯‍♀️

I once wrote a story so long, I got in trouble for it. (Teacher never set a limit, she just assumed no 8yo could write a story that long from imagination? About Halloween? Like, bestie, respectfully this task was /made/ for me.)

I love Grayson Perry's maps so much! (And the old maps that were his inspo!) I have several of them printed out and stuck in my sketchbook as inspiration ❤️

Gosh, this makes me nostalgic for Glastonbury town somehow. I was recently trying to explain how weird the place is to Midwestern Americans and couldn't quite capture its unique and odd blend of vibes.
