Have you done anything when you were younger that came true as you were older?

I was in a duet acting of "Eh?" (I tried looking for the author, but couldn't find it.)

The scene is of an older man trying to marry a woman who is sympathetic to men with hearing loss. He fakes his own hearing loss to get her to marry him.

Well, it turned out I have profound hearing loss in both ears and need a hearing aid.

Why, oh why, didn't I act in a play about a billionaire?


I really wanted to do a "laugh" reaction, but it seems inappropriate for the whole post. Just know that I LOLed at the "billionaire" line.

I've just added an item in my portfolio:
 Ding Dong, Avon’s Gone  (E)
There are some things even ghosts fear.

 I began writing this for a contest - but then an Avon person stopped by and all of reality unwound into a swirling mass of chaos, pastel shades of eyeliner, and perfumes she sprayed on my wrists all the way to my elbows.

That, and I forgot which contest this is for.
