The Joke

When I was about 6 or 7, my oldest brother Rob would babysit me. He thought it would be funny to pull a prank on me. I had always thought I was adopted because I never acted like my brothers. I would get A's and B's in school while they would get C's and D's. Anyways, this prank left me scarred for the longest time.
I had a few cabbage patch dolls in my room, and you know how they come with a certificate saying "Congratulations, you've just adopted...." and you fill in the name? Well, Rob found that certificate and wrote my name in the blank. He then came up to me holding the paper in his hand and showed it to me. He told me he had to come clean, and that our parents were lying to me the whole time. He told me my parents were not my real parents.

I didn't believe him until I saw that piece of paper. Lets just say, after that I spent numerous hours in my room on my bed crying, and even more time yelling at my parents for lying to me because they hadn't told the truth.
