The Invisible Girl
Me, invisible
I winked out of existence
Came back for cupcakes
When I was about seven years old, my second grade class put on a play. Half of the class was going to be in the play, and the other half was going to make the props in the anteroom while the players practiced. In that strange twilight moment after the teacher told us what we should do, I winked out of existence. I did not black out, I did not lose consciousness, I left the planet, or I became invisible. Either way it involved some sort of wizardry. Let me tell you why: the teacher did not notice me in the back of the room until I myself became aware that I was still in the back of the room. All the other kids were either practicing the play, or making props. And me, I was trying my hand at magic. Weird? You bet! Ot of character for me? Not at all. When the teacher finally noticed me about 40 minutes had passed. Where was I? Hard to say. And as for the cupcakes, who wouldn't come back for those?
