I just had the best encounter with a child at Kmart. I was in the aisle shopping, and this girl and her dad come around the corner. The girl sees me and excitedly exclaims “There’s a human here!!” to which the father replied “Yes, there’s humans everywhere.”
It has officially been one year since I met aliens at Kmart and the Kmart in question no longer exists.
The Aliens took the K-Mart back home with them?
THAT WAS MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Literally me!!! Little girl!!! That was me!!! (I’m a guy now but that was me!!!)
Okay for context, long story short,
Our family is really weird. Really weird. We’re not aliens (at least not that I know of although it’d explain some things) and yet I was a weird kid. Normal autistim child. Mom says that I called everyone ‘humans’ which is really funny — shes always told me that humans are humans, and yet you dont have to be human to be a people (example: cats, bunnies, dogs, et cetera — not human, but still people). Aka mom never corrected me because i was right. Of course she also calls humans humans because we are. I still call people humans but yes. Back to story. Went off topic there.
A long while back, like maybe five years ago, I asked mom if I’m anywhere on the Internet, because given how weird our family is, that wouldn’t be surprising.
She replied that yes, she believes so, because she found a tumblr post that happened earlier that day mentioning an alien encounter in K mart. This exact post.
When she saw it, she was really confused, because wait. My child. With my husband (who transitioned a few years back so is now my other mom!!!). Earlier today. At K mart.
She checked with mom and yes, that interaction did happen, they laughed about it and went about their day. When she told me about this a few years back, she didn’t remember what store, only that it doesn’t exist.
Finally, it recently circulated in conversation again, and since mom remembered the name I have found the post!!!
My doctor and therapist:now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit
Other people: well it’s just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I’m not saying you’re faking it’s just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before
