it was on a jungle gym and friends were talking about what kind of animal they are/would be and i very sheepishly said I’m a cat (very young was kind of the girls=cats/boys=dogs age if people know what i’m talking about) because i land on my feet and then jumped off the jungle gym to prove it and then they all looked at me like im an idiot fag for saying that.
