In our first installment of bubble time chats, we began by reminiscing about the cruelty of childhood amis a bath full of freesia scented bubbles and a cassette tape of "In the Tub" to keep us in the mood.
Some of the most terrible and traumatizing incidents are as follows
-When Caroline puked on the bus after the school field trip to the amusement parked, and was not only ridiculed, but a bottle was thrown at her head.
-When Meredith got sick and puked into her coat, and then had to ride the bus with her smelly pukey corduroy coat and no one would sit next to her.
-When Caroline picked her nose, and someone saw, spread a rumor, and no one spoke to her for a week.
-One word. Snart.
- When Caroline misinterpreted her best friend's actions to mean that she had found new friends and no longer needed Caroline's company, and told her mom such - who told the other girl's mom, who promptly grounded this girl who then proceeded to turn everyone against Caroline for the majority of the 8th grade.
- When nobody wanted to be Caroline's partner in anything -and she had to do all science, etc. projects by herself.
- When Chad Blackburn and Max Wagner told Meredith that only fat girls played the trombone. And she was fat. And played the trombone.
-The time Meredith got chased with worms off the bus by Kyle Vitale. And she is not a good runner.
-The time Caroline got chased by the boys in her neighborhood with a pair of panty hose stuffed with eggs and sand and other smelly nasty things...what?!?!
Please friends, feel free to get into some swim trunks, place a capful of scented bubbles under the running water and hop in the tub to join in this discussion about how children can be so gosh darn mean.
