AUTHORITY!!!

Okay here goes. This is my first life lesson I’m going to talk about, and I hope this sort of like works out for what I’m trying to do. Well, for anybody who doesn’t know what a life lesson is, it is like sort of a little thing that you remember that will help you in life. My dad always used to tell me, “This is a life lesson,” and stuff like that whenever I got in trouble or was mad at someone. One time I got in trouble not for doing anything but for being with someone when he did something bad. But now, I make up my own life lessons, mostly from mistakes I make that I don’t want to make again.  Okay, here’s one that I hate. It just really bothers me and I don’t like it. Lots of times, when I used to eat in the cafeteria, I would put my lunchbox down on the table in front of the place I wanted to sit, then go wash my hands, so they would be clean before I ate. Then, when I get back to the table, there are more people sitting there. One is sitting in my seat, and my lunchbox has been pushed all the way to the end of the table. I haven’t ever been bold enough to say “Excuse me, but I was sitting there,” and I really should.  When I end up at the end of the table, I end up not being able to hear anybody else talking, because the discussion is in the middle or the end of the table. I hate that. So here, the lesson is, “Guard your spot until there are everyone else is seated.” Or else you’ll end up away from everybody, stuck in a seat you hate.
