In the second grade there were 4 females that I found attractive. One was Darla from the Little Rascals. One was Cindy from the Brady Bunch. One was a cartoon which I think was either Penelope Pitstop or Tinkerbell. The last one was the only one that I had seen in real life. She was a girl named Diane who was in my class. I liked the fact that she was honest because when we played Seven Up, sometimes I would press her thumb down and later if she correctly guessed that it had been me I would deny it and thus not lose. Actually thinking about it now this speaks more to my own dishonesty.

The next morning, I woke up at 5 a.m. and ravenously feasted on a cold Quarter Pounder with cheese and limp French fries that had been left by my beds...

We had only travelled a short distance when the minibus stopped to let some passengers off. Another passenger and I stepped down to allow them to pass and as we stood there the passenger suddenly exclaimed, “What happened to my wallet? Did someone just steal it?” I wasn’t sure if he was serious or just making a not-so-comical scene about not identifying which pocket his wallet was in, however, it soon became apparent that his wallet was indeed missing. Initially I briefly considered the possibility that he might have suspected me as the pickpocket and thus directed the earlier conversation towards me. Once we were back on the bus though he repeated his commen...
