However, I'm here to tell an amazing X-Files story. It is not my story, Though I wish it was.
When my friend was in middle school, she like many of us, adored X-Files with the excessive fervor that only a middle schooler can. So much so, that she made her own X-Files FBI badge. (This was accomplished by pausing a videotaped episode and taking a photo of the opening credits! Oh how times have changed.) She carried this with her in her wallet everywhere. One day, after buying a coffee from the cute high school boy who worked at Starbucks, she was walking home when the Starbucks Boy called to her to wait. When he caught up to her he said: "Hey you forgot your wallet - Special Agent!" And then my friend dissolved into a puddle of preteen embarrassment.
In retrospect, she says the Starbucks Boy said it in a gentle and joking way, but it was hard to hear as a middle schooler. And this friend of mine grew up into a college professor at Brown! Every time I think of the story it makes me love her a little more.
