Ignorance is Bliss

I don't think you all were particularly amused with the random things about ourselves that we're supposed to say in class.
I just said rubbish, like The Dark Knight (WHICH IS THE BEST) and my bad pet karma (and my sister's getting fighting fish, for her art project).
If any teachers ask us to do it again, I'll be saying this.
When I was in Primary Three, my mother brought me to the doctor because I was complaining about urinating too much. The doctor took a urine sample and I remember him testing it in something that looked like a sink. Then, he told my mother that there was a lot of protein in my urine.
I thought nothing of it. I went home and happily told my father that there was protein in my urine but that was it. He prayed. I didn't know why.
Well, the next day I took another urine sample, and the doctor sent it to the lab. It was clean.
I never found out the significance of that until I was in Sec. One, or Sec Two.
My dad asked if I remembered the incident, and I said I didn't really.
As it turns out, the protein in the urine was supposed to indicate kidney failure, or something like that.
So that means I was diagnosed with possible kidney failure when I was nine, and I just skipped along home without a care in the world. I didn't even care that the sample came back clean.
Thank God, huh.
It's a good thing I didn't know.
I think.
