  1. @alliancesjr In conclusion, kids are terrible people. #brofist
  2. @alliancesjr Oh, I could totally tell, but was tongue-tied. "Don't worry, they thought it was you." "OH GOD NO MOM!!!" #pantsinflood
  3. @alliancesjr That would redeem that moment of utter horror for me, yes.
  4. @alliancesjr I lived in a quiet pastel hell, is what I'm saying. It was a better hell than most kids', I guess.
  5. @alliancesjr Mom grabs the phone and says, "I HEAR YOUR PANTS ARE IN THE FLOOD!" and I was like MOM! NO!! WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!
  6. @alliancesjr OH OH OMG PRESENT DAY INTERNET IRONY. Girls called me up all like "I hear you play with PONIES"
  7. @alliancesjr Notes on pink heart paper purporting to be from boys, shoving me into walls, prank phone calls, etc.
  8. @alliancesjr Yeah. I mostly had a friends who would turn around and tease me or troll me in secret.
  9. I'M SAYING!! RT @Caffeinated_Me: @cleolinda NO ONE IS CHILL AT 12 YEARS OLD!!!
  10. @alliancesjr Aw. Yeah. People teased me a lot. Because I was "smart," but smart was also the one thing I had going for me.
  11. Pulled me out of a damn assembly to be like, "Uh, it starts in ten minutes, you're a pretty chill 12-year-old, right?" MELTDOWN IN MY SOUL
  12. .@alliancesjr OH OH ALSO they were like "OH CRAP, WEE CLEO, WE FORGOT THE BEE WAS TODAY! TO THE ART TEACHER'S TRUCK, AWAY!"
  13. @alliancesjr I should have just written words in the air like I wanted to.
  14. @alliancesjr I will say, I definitely felt like everyone felt awful for me, not, like, "HA ha!"
  15. @shaeconnor @Menshevixen Blessedly, the next bee where I did it with "candelbra" (sic), I didn't realize I'd done it until after.
  16. Thus ends Childhood Trauma Theatre. *bows*
  17. An entire auditorium at my old school where everyone knew me, people. I finished dutifully and managed not to sob until it was over.
  18. Like, I knew, and they knew, and we all knew that I knew, but you're not allowed to go back, and we all just STARED AT EACH OTHER forever.
  19. Terrible moment: getting "goalie," saying "G-O-L," stopping in horror, and everyone staring in sympathetic horror at me.
  20. Trufax: I was a (suburb) city spelling bee champion here. Did bees for years. Inevitably lost on words I knew by skipping a letter.
