When I was little, my grandmother asked me to go to the nearest grocery store and buy 2 watermelons, so I did. I carried them all the way without having to rest (mind you, I was a little, very thin child) so when I learned that I had a birth mark that looked like an bruise, instead of telling that it was a birthmark, I told people it was a bruise from carrying heavy stuff all the time. I just wanted someone to recognize my efforts
