"The most terrible thing that could ever happen to someone happened to 2 people.
(insert sad face) First, Tim Hemmlegarn (insert heart) split his kneecap in basketball yesterday. He came to school today in a cast. I feel so sorry for him. He won't be able to play in basketball or football until he's a freshman.
Amy fell down the steps of the Ed Complex at musical practice and hurt her ankle. She hobbled, but I think it'll be O.K. (insert happy! face) Sharon's birthday is today. Her party is tomorrow night."
I mean, truly...was I SERIOUS?
Sadly, I think I kind of was. My world was quite small, eh?
Whew. Thank God nothing else somewhat terrible happened, you know...like famine. Or homicide. Or alien takeover.
