Reminds me of a teaching assistant i had back in third grade. I had absolutely zero friends and was constantly bullied and i used to spend recess alone, while he watched over all of us. I started talking to him and asking him riddles and the first few times he would give me riddles in return but i think he ended up getting tired of me since i latched onto him lol but i never realized and i used to talk to him everyday during recess to tell him different riddles

I remember years later at summer camp i did the same thing to my camp counselor
