Have You ever?

Have you ever gotten into trouble for something you didn't do?

[Twist Rolarian]

That's a loaded question. What did you do this time?

Lots of times with semi-serious/life changing consequences.

If you have then I hope you manage well.

That's a loaded question. What did you do this time?

Nothing... actually it was something from about 23 years ago I was remembering. Since I remember something stupidly (in-)significant from way back when, it had to have influenced who I am... I was just wondering how.

What was it?

I was in Kingergarden and my teacher had an important phonecall, so she asked the Kindergarden teacher next to us (KT2) to watch our class. My teacher turned down the lights and had us take a "nap". The rules were you laid down on the ground with your head down and you kept quiet 'till she got back. The girl next to me was talking and giggling with her neighbor. KT2 heard the laughing and just randomly picked someone from the area. Guess who she picked? Ayup... me. Guess who didn't get their graham cracker snack that day? Yup... me. That other girl never spoke a word and KT2 thought I was protesting so I'd get my snack and not because it really wasn't me...

So... I wondered how that event impacted me and that girl... and then also I wondered if anyone else had gotten blamed for something they didn't do.
