Blast from the Past!

Today i will be blogging as quickly as possible. I have alot of work to do and believe it or not i've been doing it today. But myself and my old chum Michael Robert Denby were just having a little trip down memory lane as we sometimes do, and an old scenario came to mind that we both had a little giggle over, while at the same time blew our minds about how weird it truly was. Sometimes you have to take a step back and look at the situation as an outsider would just to see how truly momentous certain snapshots of time really were.

So what were we remembering? Well i'll tell you. We were recalling the fact that when we were in Grade 6 back at Old E.J. James Middle School. For a brief period of time, Mike was going out with the hottest girl in the whole school! And while this may not surprise that many people, i mean yes Mike is a hell of a specimen, you have to take into account that she was in Grade 8 at the time. So let's look back at the relationship that was Mike Denby and Janice Hutchins.

First off let's look at Janice. She was somewhat tall for her age, or at least not short. She was amazingly hot. She already had a smoking body. (This is the 11 year old Eric talking so i'm allowed to say this stuff). And there's no doubt she could have had any guy in the entire school had she wanted. She was also 13 year's old and as my old pal Mikey put it, "and like at her age she should've been making out and giving HJ's or whatever."

Now let's look at my old pal Denbasquez. Our whole crew was fresh out of elementary school, and we were 11 years old at the time. Mike was by no means a large developed boy at the age of 11, (as for me, i was 11, but i think i looked like i was 6). There's not a chance he'd made it to puberty yet. (I shouldn't know that, but i do) None of us ever hung out with girls and for the most part just played football at recess. And what you really need to look at in all this, is the fact that he was 11 and she was 13!

So just how in the hell did this happen? They didnt' have any classes together. Parties didn't exist yet, they weren't sharing danks behind the school. The answer: not a clue. I don't think anyone knows. Which is why it will remain one of the most unexplained events for all of us who were fortunate enough to witness it 17 years ago.

just so you know, we were actually talking about grade 9 when this came up. I'm not sure what made eric think about it, but I was not talking about this. I was having a lovely time reminiscing about Mme. Caussy's grade 9 typing class and how I somehow managed to get my lowest mark in high school in it. Then Eric had to go and blow both of our minds by bringing this up. What a jerk.
