“126th story”
First published: Jan.23.2020
A story by Laleh Chini:
As I explained our lifestyle in my book “Climbing Over Grit;” we lived on one massive property with my four uncles and their families. Because of this, we were always busy having fun and being together.
One of my cousins and I were the same age, so we spent lots of time together. We were playmates.
It was getting close to the start of school, we were about six years old and it was time to go to kindergarten.
Our mothers took us to school shopping. We got lovely school bags and bought many fun things to fill our bags with. We were extremely excited.
On registration day, our mothers took us to a school near home that was about a 15-minute walk and registered us. My cousin and I were so proud that we’d gotten accepted into university.
We still had a week before the first day of school. Every day we packed our school bags and went to the yard and the only thing we talked about was our school bags and other school-related things.
One day we couldn’t wait any longer. We looked at each other and decided to go to school, “why wait?” we said. We walked out of the property quietly so no one would notice. No one could stop us.
We walked to our school. We thought we knew where it was. But didn’t have a clue where it was exactly located.
We walked and walked and tried different ways to find the school. We were so excited and frankly lost, so we didn’t realize how long we were walking.
Eventually, we found our school and saw our mothers crying and wandering in front of the closed door of the school.
They had been looking for us for hours. We were missing but didn’t know that.

Beautiful story 😊💕
Thank you dear Ashok, appreciate it.
My pleasure Laleh
🌷
Thank God they knew where to find you! You must have loved the first day of school. Did you walk or did your mothers go with you?
They always walked us to school. Even up to today I don’t undrestand how I did that. LOL
Adventure!
😂
Beautiful story 😍💕
I still remember the day when I got registered in school.
First month of my school I spent in my principal’s office as I didn’t like my classroom 😍
The most beautiful time of my academy was my primary school 💕💕
Lol 😂
Yes I believe the primary school is the most fun part of education. Thanks Saba.❤️
My utmost pleasure 💕💕
🙏❤️
You and your cousin really have been very eager to go to school. I think that’s a little unusual. 😉 I do hope that school fullfilled all your expectations.
It took my daughter a few weeks to adjust to kindergarten, maybe we were crazy to be that eager.😂😂😂
Lovely and congratulations on the book and and book awards. You are very talented storyteller.
You’re very nice, appreciate your kind words. Thanks a million.🌹
The Good thing was that your parents knew where to find you. Excitement made you guys dare to walk to the unknown path to school.
Love you.❤️
Busy being together. I so wish my son could feel it too.
World has been changed a lot, I haven’t seen my cousin in more than 20 years and we were best friends.
How sad is that.
Very.
I was the same; I could not wait to enter school to learn how to read 🙂
Something about writing from that first year.😂😂😂
Such a big adventure for you, but very worrying for your mothers.
Poor them, as a mother I can feel what they went through.😂😌😔
Laleh, this is a lovely story. The three of were all were ready to start school. 😊 The innocent adventurous heart, childlike faith of determination.
Gladly we ended up safe.😂 Thanks sweetheart.❤️
You are certainly welcome. 💜

LOL, No need to hate anyone just stay away from the ones you don’t like.
which would be all of them . we are not like you.
LOL
you can choose your friends but never your blood.
True.
What enthusiasm for learning!
What anxiety for your mothers!
What joy that the two of you came to no harm!
I have passed so many miracles in my life, so personally no one can convince me there is no God. LOL
Beautiful 💕
Thank you dear.
My pleasure ❤️

Did that lovely story take place in your home country Iran, maybe in a village?
We’re from Shiraz, city of poets and flowers. Lol
Shiraz is the capital of Fars.
But we lived in Bushehr for some years and this story happened in Bushehr the city of nuclear energy station LOL
Thanks so much sweetheart for reading.❤️
Thank you dear Laleh for updating me, I probably should have remembered that from reading your excellent book. I have heard so much about Shiraz, god willing sometime I will get to visit it. Ugh the station of the nuclear energy. Thank you for taking your precious time to respond.
My pleasure azizam, thank you for reading my book.❤️🌹😘
It’s a good thing they knew where you were! What an adventure. 😀
Thanks Michelle dear for your kind visit.❤️
