When I was 5 we were all on the stage with these cardboard clocks like, you know, two feet across, tied around us with string, like a sandwich board.

I was wearing red buckle shoes, that I know.
Well, my string broke and the clock fell off, night there on stage, I just stood there, frozen, and bawling.
The teacher had to walk on to the stage and carry me off.

But, uh, I was never one of the popular cheerleaders.
I remember this girl April was very popular, and this other girl Jennifer was very popular.
There were like, we were all in grade 6, but they had, like, bodies of 17year old people.
And, and hey looked like Farrah Fawcett, you know all blond with feathered hair and endless teeth.
