    Sucked/Didn’t Suck

    A post from ‘Nathan made me think of my years of oppression education in the school system. How do yours pan out?

    Kindergarten–didn’t suck
    First grade–didn’t suck
    Second grade–sucked
    Third grade–sucked
    Fourth grade–didn’t suck
    Fifth grade–sucked
    Sixth grade–sucked
    Seventh grade–didn’t suck
    Eighth grade–sucked
    Ninth grade–didn’t suck
    Tenth grade–sucked
    Eleventh grade–didn’t suck
    Twelfth grade–didn’t suck

    Thank goodness for kindergarten, it helped “didn’t suck” pull ahead by one. Dear Linda Bishop (and I’m talking about the REAL one, not “Linda” or the one who got that name in THREE FORTUNES), I’m sorry I stole your crayons in kindergarten. That theft was almost immortalized in a TJB novel, but we wrote a different book. Who knows. One day, it may yet be retold.
