When i was in 4th grade, i went to the bathroom, i opened one of the stalls (u know how u check to see is the toilet is empty and stuff) and i saw blood in the toilet!!!! i though that it was from someone bleeding and dying, so i ran to my classroom and went right up to my female teacher and said "THERE'S BLOOD IN THE POTTY!!"(i though i had saved the day) this happened to me a few times and whenever i told her she'd just be like, okay. i would always be so mad at her for not making a big deal
