18 years ago. I was in first grade. And our school decided to do a “Millennium Walkway.” At the time, there was a pinball game for the computer I was obsessed with. So I made a little goblin man from the game.
Embarrassed by my reference to a video game, I told my parents, friends, and teachers that it was the Michigan State University mascot, Sparty.
But today, dear reader, the truth comes out.
Today, I end a lie 18 years in the making. It was a goblin.
So they put up a fence around the school and are beginning demolition July 6th. So I now know what I must do.
Steal the goblin?
Ask politely if I can take it tomorrow. I have safety gear so it shouldn’t be an issue.
Operation: “Is it really stealing if you made it?” Was a success.
