I left class that day with a hole in my heart- I had been shamed.

My first day of Kindergarten
I came to Waterford Elementary two weeks after the school year started because my parents moved us from Ashburn, a town about 30 minutes east, to Waterford. Like most kids, I had a SEGA and was pretty proud of that fact. I was scared that day, scared to meet a new group of little children and was afraid that they wouldn't like me. Well, Daniel and Greg really put those fears to rest when I walked into the room and heard them talking about SEGA- probably about Sonic. I gingerly came over and told them I had a SEGA as well. Both of them looked at me blankly and then asked- Were we talking to you?

Wow, you have good memory. I barely remember anything back then. I hope you remember how we were on the same bus, though. People had SEGAs back then? Damn.
ReplyDeleteyou do remember talking about channel 52 on the bus? i sure do
ReplyDeleteHaha, I do now. Epic bus. We were on that bus for like an hour before it got to school.
ReplyDeletehaha i know- do you remember the bus number? was it 137?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I also missed the first week of Kindergarten for being on vacation (seems kind of odd timing for scheduling your kid's first day of K-12 life), and I don't really remember having SEGA that early, although I guess I did. Greg and I were stone-cold bastards, what can I say? This story has been retold to me more times than I can count, kind of like Jake's designated Daniel scratched me and made me bleed story from around the same era. I take life very seriously guys, don't fuck with me, don't fuck with Greg, and don't fuck with SEGA (I do remember playing Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles at your house though Jim, and I was pretty damn impressed, having only Sonic 2 since it came with the console).
ReplyDeleteHaha, am I the only person who doesn't remember Daniel as a bastard in elementary? Greg...haha, that's another story for another day.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jim, yeah, no idea about the bus number. I remember it being stuck in the snow or being mad-delayed sometimes, though.
