Alex’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood (One World Essentials)

Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood (One World Essentials) by Trevor Noah

1 note & 2 highlights

I was the champion of the Maryvale sports day every single year, and my mother won the moms’ trophy every single year. Why? Because she was always chasing me to kick my ass, and I was always running not to get my ass kicked.

I laughed out loud way harder than I probably should have at this.
