Sandbox days

Today when I was suppose to be paying attention in powerplus, I decided not to. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy this time =/ but, I felt like doozing.

So, as I..doozed..I thought about my days at Roanokae. None of you have ever had the immense joy of knowing me, but honestly, you probably wouldn't like me much..I was kind of..off beat.

But I was really little! We're all a little strange as youngin's..
I just happened to remember only the weird stuff I did or just remember as a kid. So - reader, if you'd like, picture 18 year old Kenzie when you read what's next to come in my days at Roanoke Elementary.

Kindergarten:
- I use to make this weird hand motion with my hands 24/7. My parents got worried that it was some psychological disfunction.
- I couldn't cut straight..for beans..Mrs. Braden thought that was cute. So, whenever we had to cut curvy and wavey things, the teacher told the class to "Cut like Kenzie"
- I ate paste. Not that weird though.
- To help us remember that "Q" and "U" always go together, its customary for class to hold a wedding ceremony for Mrs. U and Mr. Q. I, of course, had to be the one to ask why they get divorced every year.

1st grade:
- Broke my arm falling off my pool table because I was walking backwards
- Cried alot, cuz that's the grade Jeffery Burns and Matt Tumble learned what "dick" meant.
- I looked forward to butter and bread day at lunch more then Christmas...
- I won the Roanoke coloring contest. I won a bag of M&M's and a stuffed bunny rabbit. But it was never about the prize.. I colored the best out of everyone in town..that kept me going..

2nd grade:
- I made friends with a girl just so she'd invite me to "eat with the principal and a friend" day with her.
- I stole paperclips from the teacher and gave them to Levi 'cuz he liked them and I wanted him to like me..I got caught..and that was the first time I remember getting in trouble at school.
- I peed my pants at recess because I was having to much fun playing cops and robbers that I didn't wanna go inside..but I had to anyway..to change pants..
- I had my first crush, Ross Oches. I use to chase him everyday on the playground. I always caught him, but he'd stick his gross red retainer out at me, so I'd freak out and let him go.
- We got my dog Gretchen. Dad said one of us could name the dog, one of us could name the new car.. Guess which one I picked to name...I miss White Lightening...
- I chucked at 8 ball at my babysitter's face..hit him right in the kisser.
- This is when I started eating paper. Like, my homework.. swallow and everything..big surprise though, I ate everything at that age..but I loved paper..

3rd grade:
- I wasn't allowed to be in "flower power" club 'cuz the girls thought I was too chubby.
- My best friend was also fellow chubbster named Keric. He use to pay me to give him Karate lessons..even though I was only an orange belt..
- He also use to give me free pokemon cards. It took me forever to convince him to give me the "Mew" card
- I got into a bus crash and hit my head on the window. This probably explains alot.
- No one. No one. No one. Would marry me. It was custom to get married on top of the slide then kiss on the way down to the bottom. I proposed to Niko, but he said no..I think it was because the week before he asked me if he would go to hell for swearing..I told him yes..
- I had the biggest gel pen collection in the entire class..I was so proud..but my cubby partner stole them..shattered my world..
- Until this grade, I thought it was ok for girls to run around with their shirts off..so me and all the neighbor boys would have squirt gun fights.. they never told me I was suppose to keep my shirt on..third grade, readers.. <---I'll regret posting this later..
- I found my presents from Santa in the shower downstairs..mom told me Santa came early this year cuz he was getting tired of going everywhere in one night... I believe her...

4th grade:
- my first and only "in school suspention". Chelsea Hallock pulled my hair and yelled "MOOOOO!" (If this was for fun, or because of my "heffer-like" stature, I'll never know) So I tackled her on the ground so I could pull her hair so she knew how it felt,.
- I got a C- on my test. I told Emily that if my dad found out he'd whip me. She told the teacher, who freaked out and almost got the police involved, but after he talked to me, I came clean..lots of trouble for that one...
- My 2nd crush, Jarrod Hunnicut. He was a 5th graderand he kinda looked like Harry Potter..so I thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread..
- I had so many beanie babies it would blow your mind
- My teacher, Mr. Wittenburger, used to spank us kids on our birthdays....why did I never question this....I should tell my parents...


Ohhhh, there's more for sure, but I'm getting almost as tired typing this as you are reading this nonsense. However - I appreciate your devotion to my blog even still, and I hope you'll still talk to me even though you know all my childhood secrets :)
