Written for the_lucky13

13 moments in your life when you wished you were someone else.

1. When I saw my dad being attacked and killed. I wished I was someone big and strong who could defend him.
2. Every time someone made fun of me for not talking I wished I was someone normal.
3. When I was healing from acid burns.
4. When I broke my leg and had to be in a cast instead of getting to go swimming.
5. When I watched "I Dream of Jeannie" I wished I was Major Nelson.
6. I wished I was one of the Brady kids (with my mum married to Mr Brady). I've always wanted brothers and sisters.
7. With Andrea. I wish I'd been someone her family would have approved of.
8. With Orlando. I wished I was Will.
9. Whenever Mum and I got into a fight when I was growing up.
10. When I first got to the U.S. and didn't know a soul.
11. Most Christmases after Dad died. I hated having to pretend to be happy for Mum. I wished I could be a kid with a dad.
12. When I was five I wanted to be Jesus because I wanted to walk on water.
13. Every time I had to read aloud in class I wished I was anyone else.
