Well, I think I just tried to kidnap a child. Hear me out. I think I am a pretty nice person. Most of the time I am genuinely concerned about the well being of others, and truly do strive to make people’s lives just a little easier.
When I go home for lunch, I drive by an elementary school, and usually the kids are outside playing when I drive by. I am always fascinated with the kids and their drama. There is always a good game of boys chase girls or some girl trying to kiss a boy.
I like to reminisce about the days of yore and my elementary experience. Like when Dustin Richards gave me a Valentine pencil, and then my friend was mad because he wouldn’t give one to her, so she broke mine, or when Michael Brown tried to kiss me. Yuck! (He called me once to ask what kind of TV I had. He was weird.) Some days when life seems stressful, I always sort of wish I could return to elementary…of course knowing what I know now. (Think how fast I could get through those stupid cursive writing books we had to do!)
Anyways, today I am driving by the school, watching the kids play soccer, wishing that I could be 8 again, when I see a little boy who is crying and dragging is backpack down the sidewalk. It looked like his bag had broken, or was really heavy. There was something obviously wrong. So I thought in my head, “I should see if that kid needs help.”
So I got closer to the kid, and slowed down so that I could talk to him. When all the sudden the little boy saw me slowing down to help him (I promise!) and he got a terrified look on his face and ran away. I was confused until I realised what this offer of help would have looked like.
I almost stole a child. Whoops.
There were always rumours going around at recess of people in vans that were trying to kidnap people, and now I think I am one of those people. No doubt the kid went back to his friends and told them about how a lady in a brown car tried to kidnap him.
Happy payday to all of those who get paid bi-monthly! And at least tomorrow is Friday for those who didn’t get paid.
Love you. That’s about it for now.

I can't believe Michael Brown tried to kiss you. That's really funny that Dustin Richards gave you a Valentine pencil. He's married with a couple of kids now.
In case you're wondering who this is I haven't seen you since my family left Brooks when I was 12. One of my favorite memories of you is singing the songs with opposite words in Primary.
Alright. Good to know that I have a new internet stalker. Hi to you!
And thanks for the update on Dustin Richards. I thought for sure he was in jail.
Michael Brown tried to kiss me every day. Seriously,I still have nightmares. He also would eat anything I gave him, from glue to erasers.

Hi! It has been a long time.
What are you up to? Where are you? How did you find my blog?
I found your blog through your other internet stalker. Laura and I went to high school together and we lived together for a couple of years.
I don't think Dustin's in jail right now, although he has been in the past.
I'm in Calgary with my husband and 4 month old baby girl. My e-mail is juliejaner@yahoo.com.
