A young lady that I know very well, who will remain nameless for fear of embarrassing her, has been developing a crush on a boy for quite awhile. When her mother picked her up from school, the young lady hesitated but then said, "I think I'm...I think...I think I'm in love," as if she finally succumbed to the illness. The young lady said that when she looked at her name on her math paper earlier that day at school, she suddenly saw her name transform into the name of the boy she likes. She said that now whenever she looks at a word, she sees the word transform into his name. Not only that, his name is in the font and color of the word she is looking at. The drive home from school is through an urban environment where there are lots of store signs, billboards, etc. At one point, half giggling and half exhasperated, the young lady had to put her head down so she wouldn't have to see his name all over the place!
Then the young lady continued with her story and told her Mom that also during math class, she suddenly "woke up" from being in her own little world and found her paper filled with hearts that she didn't remember drawing. There was one giant heart with the boy's name written inside of it. She said that she was sort of talking to herself trying to figure out what had just happened. Her classmates were puzzled at what she was talking about.I hope for the mother's sake that this phenomenom doesn't continue for it would sure be hard to explain why her daughter has been so distracted in class. "Well, you see...when she looks at words, all she can see is this boy's name..." I'm sure that will be a first!
