On Lynette Kraft's Blog, she has replaced Wednesday's Walk with So We Don't Forget. I have always wanted to play along with this! So this week is my first chance!
Our topic this week is School Memories...
I am going to share a memory from junior high - it seems fitting as I am doing a long term substitute right now in a junior high! Well..our middle school building was very old and only had one gym that was suitable for practicing sports. So during basketball season the girls and boys teams would have to take turns practicing. One team would use the gym while the other was in the study hall doing school work. I think this must have been 7th grade because I don't remember playing basketball in 8th grade. Either way, on this day it was the girls' turn to go to study hall after school until the boys were done in the gym.
Well, for whatever reason, my friend Melissa and I decided to "sneak" out of the study hall. (FYI - I was so NOT a rebel!). We went downstairs to the gym doors and peeked through to watch the boys. We were likely scoping out our crushes! I honestly can't even remember who those boys would have been - my memory is getting bad! Well, Coach Bayse saw us and started running after us!!!! He was fairly old and had a slight limp so you would think we would have been able to out run him! But nooooooo.....remember how in teh alte 80s SUPER SUPER tight jeans were the ONLY cool jeans to wear?! Well, we both had on super tight jeans - the kind that are like painted on! And we couldn't run very well - we couldn't bend our hips and knees fast enough! So he caught up to us at the first flight of stairs! I was so scared we were in big trouble! But he just asked us not to leave the study hall again - then he went back to practice.
I was such a good girl I rarely got in trouble - I was always called the Goody Too Shoes! That was about enough taste of "trouble" for me to keep following the rules! I know, I know....what a rule follower!!!! But that memory just makes me laugh because of our REALLY TIGHT jeans!!!
Alright, thats all for today! Have a blessed day!
