This is so sad. Pls sub to my channel 😪infj.me/sub
its a trappp
Why is the ending hanging that way?
Thank you Francky ! It's important to see that side from you as INFJ's ... we carry our both sides
Teachers are NOT to insult but encourage, motivate and help students develop to their best!! I being a teacher abhor anyone who insults or belittles... that is NO joke ... I am very sorry you went through that and I can only say this to you, what happened in the past cannot be changed but you can today make peace with that embracing the fact that you were a child and the insult has had a subsconcious impact on you I am sure about that. The teacher's example ... is NOT to be followed and you should not let that experience make you think less of yourself and your abilities but let it go resting asure you have now the knowledge and wisdom to be a better and more encouraging and motivating influence than she could have ever have!! Sharing this is a way to acknowledge the adult's shameful behaviour and highlights how strong you are now by sharing it and helping others see their own experiences with incompetent teachers! Stay strong cool and attractive like only you can do!!
Frank James I was 11. Same exact thing. Got in front of the school, and they gave me my first word, “accept”. I spelled “except” instead. I was crushed. The next year I won a current events challenge, same thing, I was to rep for the class. I gave my spot to the runner up instead. -INFJ
The darkest day of my childhood was when there was a solar eclipse.
I've never laughed so hard at a comment 😂
you sir you win
Hilarious.

The darkest day in Fire Nation history...
Good to see that other people are still traumatised by these kinds of things in their childhood 😂
Brings back memories
Bad memories. I didn’t do that to my kids People need to stand on their own merit and compete with themselves not be put on a position of sheer humiliation
"Good to see" hahahhaa well, yes it's good to see because it's relatable lol
yep!!!
Yeah😂
""....my heart beating in my chest..."
Well, I should hope so, otherwise it really would have been the darkest day of your childhood
Without even thinking, the words "I should hope so" where out my mouth after he said "my heart beating in my chest." 😂
Lol made me laugh. Great comment!!
Lmao....so many hilarious people here - great humour!!! Thank you for brightening my day.
Just commented the same thing sort of. I should have known someone else would have first lol

This is not funny even a bit..
He's sharing a pain deeply rooted from his childhood with us because he felt this is a safe place and he deserves to have it..
Respect that please .
@@llnoche Making jokes and having a laugh about problems, be them past or present, is a good, healthy coping mechanism, and it shows no disrespect to the issue whatsoever.
Lack if respect is obvious, easy to spot, and it definitely is not this.
Edit : It's ok if you didn't find it funny, you can even say it, but there is nothing that shows that the commenter showed lack of respect.
[After reading the title]
Me: He's going to delve into some deep dark secrets. Some tragedy or trauma that really impacted him, shaped him into the man he is today.
FJ: So anyways I flunked a spelling bee.
I kinda assumed it was going to be a joke video
Omfg
I was shamed at age 10 in front of hundreds of parents in the auditorium playing Paul Revere and given only one line for an entire scene I thought was going to be about one line. What was I supposed to do, ad lib, wtf? I froze. Anyway, two sides of a coin I've learned since badly playing Paul. Focus on your strengths & manage your weaknesses; never get arrogant nor complacent with what you're good at. I've seen and read about many people who've sunk their real lives doing the opposite.
His acting skills are remarkable, the way he talks and his facial expressions 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
that's ur boy fj
If they ever do a remake of Flashdance there is only one man that can display the range of emotions needed to play the lead.
Is he acting?? don't think so.. because being an INFJ I always share my childhood story to my reflected self looking at the mirror, just like this..
Is the story not real??
@@apekshyadhakal3067 omg i do too.. i feel like i host my life story for myself by myself
I can’t explain it but I feel like if I ever get to hug him everything will make sense?
WHAT
You mean as in, you hug him and through physical contact his memories or his thoughts would transfer on to you?
Yikes.
Oh. My. Gosh. This is too true
It's cuz he's an INFJ y'all 😂
this was actually tragic and i felt it
Sounds scechy
I love how you laughed at the end like it was nothing in that moment😂
A sure sign you got over it!
FJ should turn his life into an autobiography named "Stay Cool and Attractive".
Also, I relate to this whole experience. I was in a spelling bee and I had studied the complicated words. I got the word 'kneel' and I spelled 'meal' because I heard it wrong. Since then, the whole school made fun of me and always mocked me for that. I got over it, but I always wonder what would've happened if I had gotten the word right.
Raise your hand if you really want a time machine to go back in time.
Don't worry Frank.. I truly couldn't even read until I almost made high school.. and to be honest, Mi spilling is sill cropp.

I don't know how you came out with this idea for a video, but I really love it! The way that you told the whole story without laughing (except for the end) was amazing. For some reason I laughed at the first "You, idiot" and then I felt bad for it. 😪 That shows you're a great actor. Congratulations, little FJ! 😎

@@FrankJames Dont worry youre stekches are addicting
There I was playing in the yard with my truckies. It was a great day -- Maypo for breakfast, followed by the Three Stooges and cartoons, then coloring and puzzles. Then lunch, then goofing around in the yard with my truckies and burning ants with a magnifying glass (I hadn't figured out matches yet). So, later, my dad comes out and says, "Get inside and take a bath, you're going to school tomorrow!" It was all downhill from there.
So anyway, there I was -- four and a half years old humping 10 city blocks back and forth (past a cemetery) to kindergarten by myself. So the last half-hour of kindergarten was freestyle play. I used to go over by the window and get the airplane puzzle and put that together in the light of the windows, away from the other kids. But one day, I felt this rumble in my abdomen. After a minute or so it subsided. Another 10 minutes went by, and this time it was a cramp and it kind of gave me a signal, but I figured school's going to be out soon. Another 10 minutes goes by, and this time it was a severe cramp. I barely settled it down at this point. We were all directed to assemble in our assigned seats and wait for the bell. As I was sitting there, a fourth and final(!) rumble occurred and out it came, quietly. Fortunately, I was wearing my winter corduroy pants but the odor was unmistakable and miasmic. Susie, sat right across from me. I noticed her nasal vibrissae shrank back and burned away. Her face was turning green. She put up her hand. My teacher, Mrs Weiler said, "Yes, Susie?" And just like the old EF Hutton commercial (you could hear a pin drop, because of silence), she says, "Mrs. Weiler, Raymond poo-pooed his pants!" Now every set of eyes was on me, as a bead of sweat formed on my brow (sitting at my table begging for that bell to ring). Mrs. Weiler said, "Raymond ... did you poo-poo your pants?" I looked her straight in the eye (as Susie slowly asphyxiated) and said, "No, Mrs. Weiler." Another minute or two and the bell rang! Of course, I was lucky when I stood up that the ol' underpants contained the whole thing as I was packin'! So off I went on the 10 block walk straight home. But it didn't end there.
As embarrassed as I was, I figured I can get rid of the evidence(!). So I went upstairs to the bathroom, took off my clothes, cleaned up and flushed everything down the toilet (underwear too!). So I figured, wow, this is great! But, a half hour later, my mother called me down and I figured what(?), she got a call from the teacher or something? She said, "Raymond, why did I just find a pair of your underwear stuffing up the second floor bathroom toilet?" So I told her the whole story. She was nice and sympathetic but told me next time, come talk to me.
And I did.
I certify the above story is 100% true.
lol wow
This is great storytelling, and wow your fortitude was incredible, walking home like that and everything, I bet you're hardcore af now
that must have been tough to go through.
anyway - thanks for the education.
if i'm ever in another spelling bee - and they ask me to spell VIBRISSAE - i'm all set !
I like it when you make yourself laugh
That's some kind of talent
Oh my goodness. The moment I heard “spelling bee”, I knew exactly where this story was going😫 this exact thing happened to me, only my word was “glimpse” and I was in third grade. I remember and randomly think about it to this day. I feel the same deep shame in the pit of my soul every time I think about it! #INFJUnite
SAME. It's so funny that so many of us were traumatized by the same event lmao
Omg. One of the most traumatic day in my childhood also involved spelling in school. I forgot to study for one spelling test and I only realised that when I reached my class that morning. I aced every one of my tests before that and I wasnt ready to deal with a break in that streak. So I refused to stand up for morning greeting that day so that we couldnt proceed to the test. My teacher got so mad she scooped me up and placed my crying ass on a seat infront of dozens of my mates in another class who were having their breakfast in this makeshift canteen. I could never forget how I felt on that seat sobbing the shit out while pairs of bewildered eyes landed on me. I was 5.
My word was "flamboyant" in the city-wide bee. I had never seen it spelled, so I took a shot: "flambouant."
The darkest day of my childhood was in 2nd grade when my dad forgot to pick me up from school 😐
The school janitor lady drove me home, 'cause I had waited for hours (with tears in my eyes). Thank god I knew how to explain where i lived. If I had my brain from now I would've tottaly destroyed my dad when I got home, but at the time I was so happy to be home that I didn't say anything. #traumatic 😑

Love the 4th enneatype peaking through. The drama, the suspense, fire in the background... Very captivating! Sorry for your loss though. But that failure brought you here, on TH-cam... making... sketches. And that’s something we’re very grateful for 😁😊
When life threw you those scheches (yes...) you make sketches. When one door slams you in your face, you open it afterwards and make a sketch about it; take that teacher!
Thx for the excuse to stay awake a little longer 😂❤️
Your telling of the story says your ready to go beyond it. Notice, it only haunts the ego. We all have a similar story. Seriously all of us. And if we don't we are lying to ourselves. Also notice there's another side of you that knows it's silly and doesn't feel hurt but instead feels compassion. Great video.
What do you mean in terms of ego ?
I love your brain and your humour and your vocabulary and your creativity and your heart. You rock, Frank!! 😍😍 Sorry for your pain in that moment.
When u're INFJ and feel like "I did this right? Ok moving on, whatever..." "I failed? I think my life is over"
Right on.
Heh, yeah, I wish it wasn't true
I think that happens for INFP too lok
"little FJ" is the cutest thing I've ever heard!
Imagine the pinch-faced teacher that gave you words to spell on the spelling B is watching this rn
Maybe that's me....
shes smiling as she watches
This whole video is literally what it’s like for me at 2 AM when I’m thinking about the most embarrassing moments of my past.
Frank, the way your face is dramatically lit is giving me early Beatles vibes! The contrast is fantastic! 😉👍
I love how you maintain a straight face☻
And that's what happens when you only give 100% 😔
You are exactly where you're meant to be. If here was not where you were meant to be, then how could you be here?
I know many others have gone through something like this but I can confidently say that as an INFJ, this triggers a couple memories that I also blow up the proportions of 😂😂
Yay for FJ story times 👏
Man, this brings me back to when I (and other students) won a spelling bee in 5th grade. Our prize was to choose a hat out of a bag that my teacher was collecting over the years. They were all trucker hats and we all thought we were so cool sporting our old trucker hats around. I can't help but to cringe and laugh about that now 😅.
Messing up on the simplest things is my speciality. I feel your pain boi.
You should do more of these storytime videos! Maybe make a Sunday storytime coffee chat series?
Thanks for sharing a part of your childhood with us.
Thanks! I think I will do more!
Mother: “Spell ‘ostensible.’
FJ: “O s t e n s i b l e”
Mother: “Spell ‘other things.’
FJ: “O t h e r T h i n g s”
It was just like that
😂
first ya gotta say the word..then ya spell it..then ya say it again...redundant, yes, but.that's how it goes..
I quit flute class when we were supposed to perform in front of the school
I did much the same with violin. Forced performance should be outlawed.
In middle school we had a sort of presentation about bullying with a quizz at the end. My teachers chose me (as I did well in tests on paper and was a quiet kid that wouldn't troll I guess) and another student. Either I didn't press the buzzer quick enough or I got the answer completely wrong. I learned then "I can't do anything right when people are watching" and never developed that skill. It was just one of the many cringefests I still remember from my childhood and teenage years.
I quit clarinet because I wasn't allowed to practice at home, because of how awful it sounded. I got way behind so told my teacher that stress and family life were getting in the way and that I had to quit for that reason. She was disappointed and I was ashamed of myself.
I was there playing ode to joy on stage 😂 as others played more complex pieces from classical music. I battled through stage fright and told people ive only been learning for like 2 months. Worst day of my life and i never got encouragement cause I have no true friends and still have none to this day 😀
Same as me with drama. Stage fright is horrible. You could always pick it up again now. I know someone who wanted to quit his music degree due to that reason, but he had hypnotherapy which really helped him. He’s an accomplished saxophonist now.
Now we know from where those fancy words keep popping.
One of the most surprising thing about the education of the US was for me when I first heard about you guys over there holding spelling bees. Like what, why though?😅
Anyway sending lots of love from Hungary!
Your channel (well maybe not this video exactly 😅) helped me a lot with understanding and accepting myself as I am, that I'm not the only one like this in this planet #INFJpower ❤️
This is like an Ingmar Bergman film. I identify with you, man.
The laugh at the end. Bless him
Yooooo this literally brought me back to my childhood. Story Time:
It was the year 2012. I was in 3rd grade. It was a day like any other as the birds were chirping and the sun was shining brightly through the school windows and into the old hallway. Little did I know that that day would be the start of my impending doom and utter humiliation. Mrs. Gilly, my 3rd grade teacher, spoke about a Spelling Bee that would take place in a few weeks and that we had to be prepared and bring our game on. I thought, “A Spelling Bee? How utterly ridiculous that is. I know how to spell the word Bee in my sleep.” And then I went back to sleep. The loud boom of the teacher’s voice startled me as she called for everyone to come up in the front as she would call out a word and we had to spell it. Whoever spelt a word incorrectly had to sit down in shame and embarrassment as the teacher gave us a look of disappointment. She called on me suddenly and told me to spell ‘mystery.’ Everyone chuckled because that word is impossible to spell. No one is that smart. I lifted my head and looked at Mrs. Gilly directly in the eyes. “M-y-s-t-e-r-y,” I said. “Correct.” Everyone looked at me in shock. “These imbeciles,” I thought. Fast forward and i eventually won. Mrs. Gilly told me that I was the champion and in 2 weeks, I had to compete for her class. I was smug about this. My classmate’s look of shock and admiration filled me with confidence and their cheers for me echoed within my huge ass ego. Fast forward again and it was the big day. A teacher took me and a few other students to the back of a classroom and we waited as friends and family attended this historic moment. My two grandma’s came to cheer me on. Their poor souls. The teacher told us to stand up as she would call out the words. If we got it wrong we had to sit down. It was the first round and my turn finally came. This was it, the big moment. “SaucyChinchilla, spell Hedgehog.” And at that moment everything came crashing down. ‘Hedgehog? I’ve never heard of that word before,’ I thought. “What in the world is a hedgehog?!!?” My heart was beating fast. My breathing became uneven as my hands shook tremendously. The sweat on my forehead was becoming apparent and all eyes were on me at that moment. I took a deep breath and said, “H-e-d-g-e-h-o-d-g-e. Hedgehodge.” My two grandmother’s faces went down. There was a long silence in the room and then the teacher said in a disappointed tone, “Incorrect.” I gasped. I was the first one out. I sat down and tried not to cry. Everything was a blur from that point on. I just let down the people who believed in me. My classmates who I was representing. My family and friends. I couldn’t hold back the tears as I let out a horrendous sob. (Embarrassing, I know). Another parent had to comfort me because I was avoiding my grandma’s. The last round was finally over as I had to sit there for over an hour weeping my eyes out. We were all dismissed back to class and I just stood in front of my teacher’s door, not prepared to see the disappointment in their faces. I finally turned the door knob. They all looked at me, expecting me to say something. But they all looked at my face and saw my red eyes and tear-stained face and knew what had happened. They all gathered around me and said it was okay and that they were still proud of me. It wasn’t that big of a deal anyways. They tried to cheer me up and in that moment I was confused. ‘But they wanted me to win? Why are they saying it’s ok? I just humiliated myself and they want to make sure I’m ok. They aren’t disappointed?” Years later I look back on that moment and I realized that the smallest mistake, regret, and embarrassing moment won’t matter in the end. I’m sure no one remembers that day except for me and that just goes to show that life will always move on even if it feels like the world is crashing down right before your eyes. Now that I look back, it’s just a funny little story that has no significance to my life right now as my mistakes don’t define me and my life. Life will always move on and it’s ok to not be perfect as no one in this world is perfect. If you actually read all of this then I want to tell you that I hope you have a wonderful day and that things will always get better as nothing bad lasts forever. (That was cheesy af)
-Sincerely, an over dramatic INFJ 💜
“I know how to spell the word bee in my sleep” and then I went back to sleep.
Hahahahaha
tl:dr
I did and ty cheese and all🙏🌻🍀🌅💞😁
I. felt. that. so. much. 😂 Had a flashback moment of my childhood day where I made a fool out of myself at the spelling bee contest, but I was merely in 6th grade. Never again. 😩
I feel your pain! I am 67 and can still remember the darkest days of my childhood too. I used to love spelling bees - only time I was ever picked first for anything !
*My success story as an introvert* (living in an extroverted society and even English is not my native language): When I was in 6th class. I had to give a presentation in English on a specific topic to a class and that was the first time ever. My heartbeat increased and my hands were a bit shivering. I proceeded to the stage and started the introduction. As soon as I started explaining the concepts, I forgot my nervousness cuz I was too focused on that thing. And it went all good (even my teacher was satisfied).
I think we can easily succeed in such social challenges if we immerse ourselves in the work fully rather than our nervousness or abstract feelings. A better way to do this is to practice it or pretentiously act over-confident.
This was a sad story. I'm sending a hug your way, FJ... I hope you're okay. 💙 My mom had a similar spelling bee mishap in her childhood too. I'm sorry about my profile picture now-- somehow the letter "C" just seems insensitive. 😔
i laughed as soon as you sat down

A poignant sketch of pathos if I've ever seen one.
Very glad you laughed at that given the number of children globally facing war, hunger, abuse, etc. You know.... real trauma vs. a moment of embarrassment.
Good point!
Eh come on now
That's kind of a shitty thing to say. Of course there are varying degrees of trauma out there. It doesn't erase his experience or reduce the impact it had on him as a child (even if it sounds kind of ridiculous as an adult, and we can all laugh about it now). When someone opens up about something that hurt them in the past or "scarred" them, even jokingly, do you always remind them of greater suffering out there in the world and tell them to eat their words? Probably not. Online is no different.
@@gtgrandom This was definitely a joke tho. Not even FJ thinks this literal trauma, trust me.
I love the way he says the word "body"
You could have been president 😭
Constance Perkins FJ for president 🇺🇸 Why not?
@@tenthousanddaysofgratitude Absolutely, why not?
If that was the darkest day of your life, you are very fortunate and privileged!
OMG HAHAH best video ever! When I was in first grade, my teacher asked what we'd like to be when we grew up. I panicked and said "singer", then started to cry. It haunts me to this day, I still don't know why I cried. I think I was scared my classmates would judge me, but really, I don't know... in the end, I became a teacher.
You were probably a singer in a past life, and there were some sad memories connected to that lifetime. But it's all good. You've moved on. xx
The darkest day of my life was when one of my older brothers drew an Easter egg with patterns on it. He told me that this was a colouring competition and that whoever wins gets a prize. My competitor was my sister who is a year younger. I asked my brother where is she? He said she was in another room, so as to separate us, so we can make the competition more exciting.
After finishing colouring my egg, I was to go to the play room, and show my picture to him, so he can judge the winner. I eagerly took my time colouring in this Easter egg, making sure I was doing such a fine job, that I would surely win.
It was time to submit my fine art to my older brother and receive my prize. I walked down the hall, heart pumping as my anticipation grew.
Upon entering the play room, my two older brothers were holding up a large blanket, as they were hiding behind it. They immediately wrapped the blanket around me, trapping me inside. It was suddenly dark. It was a booby trap!
I couldn’t see, nor could I breath. They picked me up and locked me in the antique cupboard which had a lock and key. I was locked in there for hours. It was dark. I screamed and screamed “let me out, let me out”! I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
They finally let me out, because it was only a matter of time before my mum would have found out, which would have caused them to cop a flogging from my dad using his belt.
I am now 46 and still suffer from claustrophobia. Neither of my brothers even remember that incident. It was just a silly prank to them.
...Ok I lied about being locked in there for hours. It was only five minutes or so, but that five minutes felt like hours. And the psychological damage was already done.
I still remember the day I spelled “decide” with an S. I still feel the regret to this day. And then a few years later I spelled disagree with 2 S’s. Spelling bees are more about being able to handle the pressure than actually being able to spell imo
I just clicked on this after watching an intense video about healing developmental attachment trauma 😂
I hate it when people don't have perspective on being able to relate and appreciate all the different ways that things affect us growing up. I dealt with some extreme stuff but I was also quite affected by events like you described. for me that caused the blood running cold feeling 😱 it's not easy being be a sensitive kid 🙂
childhood trauma... “your pain in my heart” and I will never look at “sketch” the same way ever again!
I did a spelling bee and my word was trombone, and I said L instead of b in trombone.
tromlone 😪
Whoa I’m early. Thanks for the great video Frank! You’re the only thing keeping me sane in quarantine 😂
🙏
Omg Frank the MBTI king noticed me!
One of the many reasons why FJ is not a sketchy guy.
This hits close to home. I was the schoolwide spelling bee champ in 8th grade and got sent off to regionals. My mom and favorite teacher drove all the way out to see me compete. And then I got out in the first round on the word “semantics”. The embarrassment still haunts me of hearing that crisp “incorrect” from the judge.
rip.
I'm sorry to laugh, but this had me rollin 🤣🤣, the ending, a gem LMAO!!! I wish this was the darkest day of my childhood lol. Mine are what nightmares are made of 😬
Else you wouldn’t be here to help us figure ourselves out! hardships made legends ❤️💯
Is it just me or whenever I see or listen to something embarrassing in a story, a movie, or in public for example, I really absorb all of the awkwardness and feel it strongly myself and can sometimes not stand to witness more of it and just want to "escape"?
We've been FrankRolled
I literally gasped when he said "C" instead of "K"
🤣
I died every year of my school years when we had to make a class speech on a subject but one particular year I did one about Earth Sciences and I SAID - Orgasm" instead of "organism". I die a little every time I remember that. Geez, I will take it to the grave.
I feel you man. Same story here. "Upheaval" brought me down.
I think I'll carry that word to grave now.
The fire is fake.
I like it. I'm in southern Australia and it's freezing here :)
No... Really?!
It’s supposed to be.
Congrats
@@heathergrahame9647 I'm in Australia too and I'm tired of this weather already lol 😩
Really? She couldn't just give you onomatopoeia like every other teacher? (flips table)
Antidisestablishmentarianism -or- Interdenominationalistically [spell-check is all confused...]
His laugh at the end!❤️
You are so brave and so real.
In the world of falsehood I can still find something real here. thank you.
I thought you were going to say you lost to Timmy......now that would have been a travesty.....
t-r-a-v-e-s-t-y.....!
😪
omfg hahahaha!
This happened to me also. 😂 My word was “computer”. I proceeded to spell every letter correctly, but then, out of sheer panic, I added an -e at the end. Why!? 😭
Thank you SO much for sharing. I went through the SAME thing in 4th grade, I was 9-10 years old. Fantastic speller, won 1st place in my class as well. I went in front of the entire school with all the first place winners from each class in the school. Family there along with the entire school looking bored, waiting. I passed the first 2 words, and up comes the third word to spell... my heart was I'm my throat, I felt so nervous but also pretty sure of myself just knew I'd make it to the finals. Juror was my word. Of ALL the words in my study book that was one I hadn't recalled. I spelled it, hesitating, "Jurer".
I can still feel the humiliation and shame and the horrible feeling I had let everyone down and looked so stupid on top of that. I was one of the smart ones! Now I just proved to the entire school and parents and EVERYONE on earth I was just another dumb nobody. A teacher of mjne who wasn't one of my favorite teachers let's just say, took me aside and literally put me on her lap and patronizingly rocked me back and forth - in front of everyone. EVERYONE.
It was fucking awful..
I jumped when you said what she called you!
I felt all of it!
Just horrible.
So sorry you went through this.
When the Te trickster function really dabs on you like that
When the Se trickster don't know if someone is bluffing but was still right with assumptions
This EXACT thing happened to me! And I cried on stage when I messed up the word "microwave" 😆 #traumatized
lmao the same exact thing happened to me. i always did extremely well at spelling bees, even placing second a few times. but when my whole family showed up... out in the first round. i have never forgiven myself.
Me too hahahaha!!! My word was scar, I put an “e” at the end wtf 😹
Man you had quite a happy childhood is this has REALLY been your worst day! :) (Still I totally dig the "letting other people down in a pubblic assembly" thing and I feel for little FJ!) Seriously: I'm quite new here and very intrigued by MBTI (systematically taking every available on line test every once in a while during the last 20 years, manly for fun ;) ) I don't tend to be very social on line or elsewhere but I had to thank you: it's so rare to find amusement and useful information so well served: you're a pleasure to listen to, thank you for all the videos! (OK, I revere Douglas Adams... :D )
the same exact thing happened to me except my word was knack 😢 I never forgot how to spell that word again from that day forward
When I was about 10 I also was in the school spelling bee. I forgot how to spell hallucination. I believe I spelt it like halusinacion or some random crap. It wasn’t my darkest day of school, but it was one of the most embarrassing.
I love how you talk about open topics without having the fear of feeling judged 😂😊
The background fireplace screen (in June!) really set the mood 🔥
When you’re nervous, somehow the easiest things escape your mind, but it’s okay, now you’re making lots of comedy sketches ! 😂
The atmosphere is so dark😂
