She had moved to a new school and inherited a class of 2nd graders. I was very excited to see her on the teacher side of a class of children, and was glad to see that they all seemed very well behaved. Of course I was even more excited to see how she would be as a teacher.<br>I was the substitute piano teacher for her class, and was supposed to be covering for a month up until the new one comes in. It was a clear advantage, since I got to see how she would behave in a professional setting. But someone else caught my attention. There was one clear oddity about the whole class. A single boy had a shaved head and wore sunglasses, and my wife had to tell me the story of how he had acquired 29 Ask Me Anythings. I have to admit, it took me a while to believe it, but I decided to do some research. <br>The three AMAs were from the same person who had had a child with a strange appearance. The child had shaven head and sunglasses, and had done some pretty interesting interviews. I thought it would be the perfect topic for the kids to learn about in school, and asked my now fiancé if she would be up for it. I brought a laptop to class and began by showing them the first AMA. They read it and giggled, apparently enjoying the humor in it. After that, I showed them the next one. They were even more excited, which only made me more excited to share the next one, and the Reddit page with more information. I brought them up to the classroom computer, where I brought up Reddit, and showed them the page. <br>I scrolled down, reading them all the comments and information. Then I decided to check out the story that was linked at the bottom. I figured that it would be the next step in getting them the full story. It wasn't easy explaining to them the things that happened in that story, and it ended up being a lesson on empathy and things like that. The date was November 11th, 2022, and I decided to come up with the project in which my wife and I were going to document the life of Nate. We had recently moved in together, and we decided that we could use some space for our "Nate Museum" that we wanted to create. Now, one year later, we have decided to finally release the information that we collected, one piece at a time. This is the first entry in that project, and I thought that it was perfect to post on Reddit.<br><br>TL;DR: Nate is a 6-year-old, 2nd-grade honor student, and he has 29 AMAs already. This is the story of when my fiancé and I met him. She had just become his teacher, and I just happened to get lucky and become his substitute music teacher. This is the start of the next generation of horror.
