"I knew what was coming. 'Is that boy from your country?"
While I can't say I've had an experience like this, I have been on vacations, and had someone ask where I'm from. When I say 'Maine', a lot of times, they say 'Oh really, I have a friend, Paul, who lives in New Hampshire, do you know them?" Although, yes, New England is pretty small, it's not small enough to know every single resident on a first name basis. I think when things like that happen, they might just be trying to make conversation, but either way, it's pretty funny to think of.
"I had been elevated from child-who-can't-learn-to-swim to child genius"
When I was younger, I went to the supermarket with my grandmother and my two cousins. My little cousin, Bailey, got lost and I remember looking frantically for her. When she was found, she was treated like world's best child. Everyone was so happy she was found, they forgot that she broke the hold-hands-with-your-cousins-at-all-times rule and got ice cream as a reward.
