Person in Denial

A couple weeks back someone claimed that I'm a person in denial. Of course, I denied that claim. I'm not in denial, I'm just misunderstood.

But I saw something funny yesterday which made me wonder, perhaps sometimes other people think I'm equally as funny.

So once upon a time in the library, sat a soft spoken guy not much younger/older than me. I think he was reading a textbook of some sort. Three little primary kiddies were with him, I think they must've been his little cousins or close family friends, and one of them asked, "Why are you so nerdy? There's no pictures in that book!" The guy replied, "Not a nerd."

A while later, he was checking his phone and all the kids started teasing, "oooh, who are you messaging? Ooooh! Your girlfriend? You have a girlfriend!" And the guy straight away put away his phone and said, "don't have a girlfriend"

The library is now starting to get a little more crowded and noisy. A kid said, "Justin (fake name, because I forgot that person's name) wants to buy hot chips!" The guy goes, "I hate chips." And a kid says, "But! You lurrrrrrrrve us!" All three kids started laughing hysterically with their bodies on the table but at the same time trying to be quiet in the library. Meanwhile the guy just calmly says, "No, I don't." After more nagging by the kids, I think he gave in, and asked me to mind their things for them on the table.

A very long while past, they came back and the kids were high on life, but I think the guy just wanted to study. Even I was getting a bit distracted by the kids, and suddenly the guy says, "hey shush" to the kids. One of the girls was like, "so mean!" And the guy goes, "How am I mean? I'm never mean." A kid says something like, "You told us to shut up." "No, I said shush." "But that's still mean!" "I just bought you chips, I'm nice." "That was only because you luuurrrrve us!" "No" But the kids were laughing hysterically on the table again.

Then I left for dinner before basketball.

During all of these events, I had to try and not laugh and concentrate on my French.

Maybe some people just like to argue with others, but those would've been the exact answers of mine if I were in that situation too.
