The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

HmmBeing in a theatre program you’d readily expect a few oddballs, and here’s my favorite one. Tom introduced himself to me on the first day by telling me he’d been to a concert once. The next day we had history class and he asked me if he could sit in the empty seat next to me – jokingly I said, “Sure, as long as you don’t look at me.” Well he didn’t. He kept his fool head down for about 20 minutes until I noticed and told him I was joking. But Tom took the cake the day he had to present his assignment on Drug Addiction in Psychology. He announced that he had written a one man play, and would perform it for the class. He assumed the roles of Judy Garland and John Belushi, who happened to both be in Hell for being drug addicts, and they were having a conversation. Apparently since Judy had died of an overdose, she was doomed to push a giant rock through hell for all eternity and, “Boy was she tired!” This politically incorrect skit went on for maybe half an hour and the best part was that Tom was completely serious about the whole thing, completely oblivious to everyone’s look of disbelief, and very proud of himself when he was finished performing.
Despite being completely baffling and slightly terrifying, I like the kid.
