Youth will experiment with their personalities: A Story

A “perfect child” who always did everything expected her, a church officer and an outstanding student, did something unexpected: At an all-church picnic, she was standing by the bathrooms when a Matriarch of the congregation came up to her and asked where the Woman's restroom was. The youth opened the door of the Men's room, and when the woman went in fled – both in terror for having done something impulsive like that and in joy for having once done something outside her character. I teased her about this event, but there were no negative repercussions and she both matured and went back to her old self. Within a year she had completely erased the event from her memory – it “wasn't her” and therefore it never happened.
