Anybody in my age bracket remember the "Would you be my friend if..." scenario? Picture it. NHS high school hallway. The smell of that week’s cooking unit wafts from between the 2-inch gap between the floor and the door to Mrs. Temple’s home economics laboratory. You turn to your best friend whose locker is a few doors down.
"Hey! Listen, would you be my friend if I pulled my pants way up high and walked around?" Your friend gives you a sideways look that says it all without any words ever coming out of her mouth. So you pull your pants way up high, highwaters, Steve Urkel style, and take 20 steps away from her. Then, in the background of your high school life that is, at any given point in time, poignant and awkward all at the same time, you hear your friend let out a big hearty laugh that you love, and decide you can carry on with your day because you and your friend shared a funny. High school. Sometimes I really do miss the ridiculousness. I do not wish to return, but the memories we made are still branded in my heart and thoughts. Chinese fire drills. Cruising Main. Parking on Main Street at the car wash or donut shop. That seemingly-infinite loop we all made through Sonic, back through town What unique high school memories would you care to add to this list? <3
