She laid down to fall asleep but that didn't

  • She laid down to fall asleep but that didn't stand a chance. She kept thinking about the day that passed and wanted nothing more than to dance. Her eyes lit up and she imagined the
  • hunky ring bearer absconding with her and the ring (and Gloria's wedding cake). She rolled around as she played it out in her mind. They would dance... No, no. Cake first, then
  • dance, then they'd steal the limo & go on the honeymoon intended for Gloria & her fiance! The church bells shook her out of her fantasy & she rose reluctantly. The hunky ringbearer
  • was waiting for her in the narthex. She had to remind herself that she, the flowergirl, was only 6 & the ringbearer was barely 5. They held hands & walked down the aisle, thinking
  • about places they'd rather be. She was 6. He was 5. And they'd already lied so much.
  • But that was life in the upside down kill-or-be-killed world of sticker day trading during kindergarten recess. Together, they'd amassed a fortune big enough to finally
  • defeat all their rivals in the elementary school sticker-trade. Rumor told that a team of fifth graders had gotten some that not only sparkled, but were 3D and smelled good, too!
  • Although, some of us knew that this was nothing compared to the middle school sticker trade. there, sparkly, 3-D, smelly stickers weren't good enough. you needed
  • snappy phrases stamped on bumper stickers to plaster on the back of your dusty, hand-me-down hunk-of-junk to really make an impression. Choice phrases include: I Brake For Ninjas
  • , hipster fish logo, pithy remark about my honor student, dismissive remark about your driving, unknown band/radio station/sub-woofer, and politics (god-awful politics.)
