( 6:00 AM ) shut up christine
My older sis turned 21 on July 31st. Good gravy, she's 21 years old! And I'm freakin 19! When did this happen?
I remember a million summers ago when I knew all the words to the Alvin and the Chipmunks theme song and we went door-to-door selling homemade perfume. I thought David Hasselhoff on Knight Rider was the coolest guy on earth (woah… did I just say that?) We lived in biker shorts and made dance routines to Janet Jackson. Two and a half people could fit on the bike with the long banana seat. We had water fights with our neighbors all the time and Nickelodeon had the best shows. At night we'd bring out the radio and all the girls would practice their cartwheels on the grass. I had a crush on the boy across the street because he offered to tow me on his bike whenever I went skating. Those summers were the best.
But no one ever comes out anymore. The guy I used to have a crush on…I haven’t seen him in a long time. I just found out that his parents might kick him out of the house for dropping out of college and possibly getting his girlfriend pregnant. I can’t believe I’m talking about the same guy, the same kid who played tetherball everyday in front of my house, and sat with me on the sidewalk eating crushed ice and Kool-Aid. Growing up sucks sometimes.
