How do you roleplay a 4 in Wisdom?

So one of the players at my table wants to do a one-shot to try DMing. I rolled up an Arcane Archer with an entertainer background. I'm getting really boring stats, a 14, two 13s, two 12s. Nothing special.

I have a personal philosophy of strict adherence to the will of the dice gods, so now I have to dump a stat HARD. A 4 in Strength is realistically too weak to draw a longbow. I need Dexterity as my main stat. A 4 in Constitution would be like playing a sickly Victorian child. Intelligence would be literally dumber than an ogre, and Charisma would make me the worst street performer in history. So that leaves Wisdom.

So it seems I'll be playing an absolute dumbass who should not be allowed near a longbow. I'm thinking "Who wants to see me shoot an arrow out of my own mouth?" but I'd like to have more ideas. Anyone have suggestions for playing super low wisdom characters?
