Have You Ever ...
1) Skipped school? Depends on your definition. I malingered so my mom would call me in a sick. I left the school at lunchtime and didn't return for afternoon classes. I joined the school newspaper so I wouldn't get a last hour class and then went to the mall instead of the newspaper office. BUT I never pretended to leave for school in the morning without reaching that destination.
2) Lettered in a school sport? Yes. I got a letter for volleyball in 8th grade. I was a terrible player and I didn't deserve to even make the team, much less letter. But my gym teacher/coach was proud of me for trying out and I got the letter as a reward for gumption and good-naturedly riding the bench.
3) Made a prank phone call? Oh yes. How do kids do this now? Do they buy burner phones for this specific purpose?
4) Paid for a meal with coins? Often. Especially in the lunch line at the school cafeteria. Again, do kids still do this today? Do they still search sofa cushions and car interiors for coins?
5) Laughed until some sort of beverage came out of your nose? Nope.
I have a cup full of coins in my office. I don't think I'll buy food with it , though!
