Btw, story time:

I remember messing around with ciphers like a=z b=y etc… and I share this with another kid. We’d use rubber bands to slingshot folded up paper notes written in cipher to each other during class and in the afterschool program. Like I just get bored and wanna talk to someone, and we both spoke Mandarin so we sort of “connected” with each other quickly. We’d write “fuck you” using this cipher on the whiteboard and we’d laugh… cuz us kids being silly kids…

I accidentaly hit one of the afterschool program staff with those slingshotted “paper bullets”, he got mad at me and I got in trouble and I was forced to sit on the carpet while everyone just glanced at me like: “ooh this thoublemaker kid again”

I remember just crying lol
