Circle "Yes" or "No"

Third grade was a fun year for me. My flat top was in full effect, and I discovered girls. That, or girls discovered me ... not sure which came first, but it was definitely a pivotal year. If I recall correctly I liked three girls in my class at the same time.

I was laying on my bed when Mom walked in with a piece of paper.

"Hey Clinton ... who is Amber?"

"MOOOOOOOO-OOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!"

Elementary mistake, my friends. Don't throw away your first love note at home. If you do, make sure it's torn to shreds so it's completely indecipherable, or your mama will find it in your trash can.

"I just want to know who is trying to take my baby away from me."

Thanks Mom. I'd tossed it so she wouldn't find it. Now I wish I still had that note. Not completely because I may be a pack-rat by nature and find it difficult to throw away anything with an ounce of meaning, but it was epic. The note even featured the classic "Circle 'Yes' or 'No'" function; almost guaranteed to pull a decision out of the intended target.

It's been a long time since I've received a "Circle 'Yes' or 'No'" letter. Now that I think about it ... that was the only one. Thanks for falling for my flat top, Amber. What a cool keepsake that'd be now!
