When I was in 5th grade I was kinda slow and weird, so I got bullied for it. My dad (in his infinite wisdom), told me to tell everyone who called me slow, that I am a Homo Sapiens, a “wise man”. People thought I was saying homosexual, so that backfired

Let’s just say I’m happy my parents decided to move to another town (for unrelated reasons) where nobody knew me as “The Homo”

Looking back, taking advice about bullying from a man who speaks in Latin when he’s trying to sound smart and has no filter… was probably not the best idea
