There was a
biology lesson in the morning of my 16th birthday.
Although I was
attending a girls’ school, my classmates were always crazy about the organs of
dead pigs. They were so enthusiastically dealing with their new toys. Their curiosity was not merely
satisfied by only having a slight touch of the organs, but also twisting them,
doing some kind of ‘surgeon’ with them, putting ‘make-up’ for them, or doing
any other ways which allow them to feel the organ with all their heart. In such
kind of ‘organ-feeling’ lessons each of us were given only one plastic glove.
Unfortunately,
for me, this lesson was about ‘brain’. While I was standing at a corner which blocked all my senses
in contact with the organs, holding my single plastic glove, feeling glad that
the demonstration time was almost over, a gang of girls, each of them holding a
glove which stick with USS - unidentified semisolid substance - which
looks like ‘strawberry milkshake’, came up to me with their gloves, trying to
give me a big hung.
“Happy Birthday!”
