What is your most embarrassing moment?

It was 1st grade & I was at my friend Keelen Wolfe’s house & I really had to go the bathroom right? And for some reason I was too embarrassed to ask where the bathroom was so we were all inside playing a game & I said “Hold on, I’ll be right back,” so I go outside & poop on their concrete patio even though there was a whole grass area. So later, we went outside to play & everyone saw the poop and I blamed it on their dog, Seymour. Turns out where I had been pooping there was a glass window & my friend’s mom saw everything – she called my mom & I got grounded for three weeks.

What is something people don’t know about you?

I can pick up objects with my toes.
