My mom enrolled me into pre-school. Everything was great until we watched Charlotte's Web. You see, my middle name is Charlotte and it's very special to me because my materernal grandmother was named Charlotte and she passed away from Lukemia when my mom was a little girl. So it was like a special connection to the grandmother I never met.
So anyways, I was always sort of... not quite up to speed with my peers socially. So we sat down on the carpet square around the tv and we watched the cartoon Charlotte's Web. I mentioned to my peers that my middle name was Charlotte and I was named that after my grandmother, who I never met, because she went to heaven when my mommy was a little girl.
My Peers, being the 4 year olds they were, ignored the specialness of sharing a name with my grandmother, but instead decided to tease me. They started calling me Charlotte's Web. I was so angry but didn't know how to make them stop and I hated spiders and I was not a spider! And I wasn't a web either! But I definately was not a spider!
Kids kept calling me Charlotte's Web and it made me so angry and the teacher just didn't understand why I was so upset. Eventually Christmas Break came, and I told my mommy that I did not want to go back to Pre-School. I didn't like it and I never wanted to go again. So my mom unenrolled me from pre-school, not exactly sure why I didn't like it.
