I am old, but in 4th grade we ate lunch in our classroom at our desks, and we weren’t allowed to throw out any food, you brought it with you, you take it home again. BUT! Anything that we didn’t want and didn’t want to take back home again we could put on the teachers desk and other kids were allowed to claim it. I…

I laughed out loud at this so loud my dogs just looked at me funny. :)

Theres lots of reasons I don’t speak to my father, or uncle, honestly these are so far down that list.

12-13 - the summer after grade six, it was the height of the “valley girl” phase, which meant lots of mini skirts, and I grew like a foot that summer to 5’6”. It was night and day, such a drastic change from being a “child” to suddenly having grown men hit on me on the bus, in the mall, touching me, touching my hair,…

Its state by state I think...
