Not Allergic To A Sunny Disposition!
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, HEALTH & BODY, JERK, STRANGERS, USA | HEALTHY | APRIL 21, 2021
I have a blood disorder called EPP; basically, I’m allergic to the sun. I’m sitting in a tent on the beach to shelter myself. Two girls who look about fourteen or fifteen see me — age ten — with my gloves, sunscreen, and huge sun hat.
Girl
#1 : “Hi. Why are you in a tent?”
Girl
#2 : “Yeah, can’t you just go inside?”
Me: “My family is here; I don’t wanna just leave. The sun and I aren’t friends.”
Girl
#1 : “Well, why are you wearing gloves in a tent? Go outside!”
Me: “I’m allergic.”
Girl
#2 : “To going outside? That’s dumb.”
Me: “No! I’m allergic to the sun.”
Both girls are starting to get annoyed, even though I’m not lying and they are the ones who decided to talk to me.
Girl
#1 : “That’s not a real allergy.”
Girl
#2 : “Yeah, stop lying!”
Me: “It is real, and I’m just glad you don’t have it.”
I went back to playing with my little cards and they walked away.
After that, my mom kept telling me that story because she thought it was really nice how I didn’t actually react in an aggressive way. Even though they were being rude I didn’t wish my allergy on them. I know some people are dealing with some crazy allergies; you aren’t alone!
