It majorly pissed me off.


I was 12 at the time....
You and Jillio's son are not the only ones, I remembered when I was little (don't remember how old I was, probably about 5 or 6 years old ). My mother and I were on the bus, there was a young woman putting her hand on my shoulder and seem to pray over me. I looked at her and then at my mother. I just sat still until she removed her hand. I was kind of puzzled and relieved that she did not do anything to me. Later when I got older like 12years old I had asked my mom about the incident on the bus. She told me that the woman who put her hand on my shoulder to pray that she want to cure for me to open my ears so that I can hear and understand people's languages. I thought she was weird back then. She was very religious.
