I believe that there are way to many interesting facts about me to tag one down and put it on paper, but since this is an assignment, I figured I should do it. For a few moments after I was told that I had to find an interesting fact about me, I was in a stupor of thought. I didn't know what I could write on the little orange paper that was interesting. So I thought of the one thing that seems to have defined my whole life up until this time, the only reason that this interesting fact defines my life is because I use it for all the times previous of telling interesting facts. I have been using this fact since I was little and could remember anything interesting about me. It seems to be the only clear memory for me at the young age I was. So the interesting fact about me is that...

At the age of 2 years old I flushed my mother's entire collection of Jewelery down the toliet. Now, you can probably guess as to why I would do so crazy a thing at that young age. Well you don't have to guess, I will tell you. I liked to watch the way the water swirled around the jewelery. It was beautiful to see the diamonds sparkle as the light rushed around them and they swirled to the bottom of the bowl. I have also been told that I didn't just get to the rings or the necklaces, oh no, I got to the watches and everything else you can imagine. Nothing was safe from my prying hands. Everything you can think of, every single ring, every single ear ring, and watch and necklace was gone. Nothing was left. My mother has told me of what happened when she found me flushing away in her bathroom. She has said that I looked at her with joy on my tiny face and pointing to the bowl giggling and clapping my hands at how pretty it was to see things being flushed down the toliet. She was so pissed. Priceless, pieces of jewelery that had meant so much where now gone from the world, well actually they where still in the world, but now they had been flushed down the toliet to the poop infested water underground. Anyway to make a long story short she was angry and sad that she lost so many things, but she new that everything would be alright. I being 2 years old didn't really know what was going on, but I was happy, and soon my mother wasn't so sad and she begain her collection again. But I can honestly say that she keeped the new collection well out of my reach.

So My interesting fact is that I happened to flush things down the toliet. Yes, that is my interesting fact that I have been telling people since I was in elementary school. People who I went to school with still probably think of that girl, who was a little shy and weird, who would some day grow up to be famous, as the girl who flushed her mothers jewelery down the toliet.
