Omg tumblr please appreciate this as much as I do! Today is a beautiful day, and I went to the paoderia (the bakery) as you see above because I pretty much live in this sweater. In front of me in lone was a little kid, who looked back at me with wide eyes! Now, I’m a happy fatty with weird hair, I’m used to getting looks. But no, this didn’t end there. This kid let’s go of the hand of the adult they were with, turns to me and says “Are you an evil wizard?” I crouch down to the kids level, and the kids person looks at me. I mouth to them “I have a niece this age” and they relax a little. I turn to the kid and ask “How could you tell I was magical?” The kid flips out and says “I knew it! You’re an evil wizard! Only evil wizards have hairy hearts! You better be good!” At this point, everyone in the bakery who understands english is laughing. SERIOUSLY THOUGH GUYS! THIS KOD SAW MY TATTOO AND THOUGHY OF THE WIZARD’S HAIRY HEART FROM BEEDLE THE BARD!!! THIS LITTLE POTTERHEAD INSTANTLY THOUGHY OF THE STORY AND AND TOLD ME TO BE GOOD! I WAS DYING TO LAUGH! But I had to recover! So I tell the kid “My heart is hairy, but it’s still good! I don’t keep it locked up. Look at all the fresh air and sunshine it gets! Besides, if I were an evil wizard, I would have…” I look around and whisper to the kid “the dark mark”. And I scrunch up my sleeves to show my bare forearms.
The kid looks relieved, and says
“I knew wizards were real! Thank you for being good!”
I motion to the kids caretaker, and get the fo-ahead. I buy the kid a cookie on my way out the door, after finally getting my bread rolls. The kids person says they’ll be talking about this for weeks!I text a friend about it, and they go
“Don’t you have a skull tattoo on your upper arm? Good thing the kid didn’t want to see more!”
And I’m like, yeah, but it’s covered in flowers and stuff…
My friend responds with
“The most FABULOUS dark mark I’ve ever seen!”Oh my gosh, this is a wonderful story. This made my morning.
I’m grinning ear to ear.
