I'm Planning A Kidnapping.

So every Tuesday I read to Little John's first grade class and over the past few weeks I have come to the realization that no where on this earth exists a seven year old girl who is as cute and adorable and sweet as John's friend Cynthia.

Oh my God. Words cannot express how much I love this little girl. She's a lot like me at that age, only cuter and sweeter and not painfully shy. She sat next to me at lunch and we talked the entire time about pets and tattoos and books and other stupid, little stuff and I loved every minute of it.

I want a Cynthia. Like, I think eventually I can overcome my huge fear of sex and childbirth if it gives me a Cynthia. She is that awesome.

I really love reading to the kids every Tuesday if only because I've just realized how much I missed elementary school. Man did we have it made. And every time I go to Central Elementary I'm reminded of playing Pokemon with Laurie and field days, and looking for fossils on the rocks and sneaking caterpillars into the classrooms.

Good times. Which reminds me: I've been meaning to break into C.C. Mason elementary school playground for, like, the past three years. I'm going to do it this summer if it kills me. Up for some breaking and entering this summer, Laurie?

This is also the name of a Fall Out Boy album. ^.^

  2. Awww! Ashley! We don't have to "break" into the CC mason schoolyard, it's not locked! I've been going there every year about a week before school starts up again since middle school.
    It's crazy, because the perspective is way off- I remember the trees being taller, and farther apart from each other...
    Remember how one of us would run ahead to reserve the ring of trees that we played pokemon at?
    And the LONG war with the kids who played Digimon and hunted for clay?
