We ran out to the car, and as I slammed the door, my brother’s fingers were smashed, and he had to go to the hospital. – I tried to “ice skate” on a frozen creek and fell in. I had to be pulled out by my crush, and had to wear a set of his clothes (including a pair of his underwear) because mine were all wet. – One day I didn’t want to ride the bus home, so I tried to convince my brother to walk home with me, and he was freaking out because we didn’t know how to get home, and I was freaking out because I was a weirdo, and he finally convinced me to get on the bus. – I decided to challenge this really mean girl to a race down the “wheel chair hill” and as I was winning the race, I tripped at the bottom of the hill and slid across the black top skinning up my arms and legs, and ended up at the nurse.

12. – The first time I cursed was in 5 th grade, and I used the “b” word, but I yelled it at a boy, and then cried hysterically afterward because I knew I was in big trouble if my parents found out. – When I was in 6 th grade, this boy was really mean to me, so one time during PE, I ran full force and shoved him to the ground. I had to run an extra lap. – I told a group of girls in 7 th grade that I wondered if our really cute Geography teacher shaved “his mhmh,” and they made fun of me and said they were going to tell him, and I totally freaked out and never wanted to go to school again. – My brother and I would race home after we got off the bus because we only had one bathroom.

My brother asked why I didn’t just go in the bathtub. – I always forgot to get the clothes off of the clothesline before I went to school. One morning I was in a rush, and it started raining, and I ran out the back door to get the clothes, and I slipped and fell on my butt.
