cursed by a nun
for grades one, two & halfway through three, i went to a catholic school. of course, being catholic, the place was full of nuns.
one day my mum & i visited one of the nuns in her home. she had a little budgie that was allowed to fly free through the house. when we visited it was sitting on her shoulder which i thought was pretty cool, so i asked her if she would let the budgie sit on my shoulder. now this is where she said the words that have affected my whole life thus far.
i'm pretty small now (i'm five foot tall, fully grown), but when i was only five or six i was tiny. i mean really tiny. i looked like a two or a three year old. so when i asked the nun if she would let the budgie sit on my shoulder she said to me, "but you don't have any shoulders!"
those words had far reaching consequences. i'm all grown up now & have to utilise the services of a brassière & of all the bras i've owned over the years, not one of the straps on any of them will stay on my shoulders!
she cursed me! the nun cursed me!
