Flashback Friday (6)

For the new readers of the blog, I’ve been doing a monthly installment where I share events from my own life during my kid and teen years.

For this installment, I’ve included a note given to me in study hall from one of my girlfriends. The things teen girls share with each other are timeless:

Hey Karen:

Hope you liked my present. I didn’t know what to get you so I just got you something useful. You’re always writing something so I figure pen and paper! Genius!

I went to the mall this weekend but got depressed because there wasn’t anything I liked or could afford. I ended buying some cheap earrings. I wish my parents would give me more for my allowance. How can I get cute with the chump change they give me? I need more CASH.

I saw Jeff and he FINALLY asked for my phone number. I’m so excited! Then I saw Michael, Steven, Julius, and Tony. There were so many cute boys at the mall that I got all light-headed.

I saw Marie with her boyfriend. Have you seen him yet? I swear that is the most ugliest little pea-headed boy you would ever want to see. I would never tell her that but I had to tell somebody — you in this case. Karen, if I ever get an ugly boyfriend, you have to TELL me! Okay? Promise?

Next time you’re coming to the mall with me. You shouldn’t stay up in your room writing stories all the time especially since you let NOBODY read them! You’re missing ALL the action!

I hope that everyone has a great weekend! Don’t forget Father’s Day — do something nice or in remembrance for your father figure(s). Also try to get some writing done!
