Spoiler: this is rly short
I take journalism at my school, and because there was only like sixteen people in the entire class, everyone knew each other pretty well. Also I say dumb things and people laugh really hard and write down great quotes by me on their phones for some reason or another.
So I've just sat down in my seat one morning, and the senior behind me asks me: "Hey, do you have any lip balm?"
I didn't have any, but I didn't want to disappoint her either, because she was super nice. Instead of maybe redirecting her to someone that actually had lip balm, or politely telling her that sorry, I had none, I ended up saying: "Sorry, I don't have any; I already have naturally soft silky lips."
And everyone in the gosh darn classroom heard it, and then this other girl sitting diagonally behind me starts cackling really hard. Like, it's the loudest I've heard any single person laugh ever.
After that, kids in journalism quoted me and my silky soft lips, among other things, at almost every opportunity they got. It's not a great thing to be remembered for, but what can I say! That's one of my stories.
