I swear I was briefly a psychic when I was in the first grade because of two particular things that happened
Approaching Halloween that school year, I was going to go trick-or-treating in the neighborhood of my godsiblings
Since I was really into Transformers at the time because of re-runs of the OG series on The Hub, I wanted to be Optimus Prime, and I thought it would cool if my godbrother was Bumblebee. Come that Halloween, my godbrother actually dressed up as Bumblebee
There was a chance my mom overheard me saying that and suggested to my godmother the idea to validate me, but the next incident was purely psychic
During a class in the first grade, our teacher was playing an eye spy game where two of us would use the pointing sticks to point to the country on the map she spied
Moments before picking one of the hundreds of countries on the map, I zeroed in on the country Jordan, likely because my brother's name was Jordan, and thought it would be cool if my teacher chose Jordan
Right after preemptively focusing on Jordan, I hear my teacher say "I spy with my little eye, Jordan."
Imagine every 6-to-7-year-old's shock when I instantly point to Jordan, a Middle East country people rarely talk about (no offense to any Jordanians who may see this), as if I were a geography wiz
I was basically a male Raven Baxter during my first grade year, and I'd do anything to get those psychic powers back
