Vintage happy meal transformers. Mine was the one in the middle.
Sixth graders in Fort Collins were caught drinking an “alcoholic concoction” at school recently, reports said today.
A Poudre School District spokeswoman has assured that all parents of the boozing students were informed and that the students had been punished.
She added that the district has a zero tolerance policy on drinking.
Drinking in sixth grade?
Are you serious?
I totally would have done it in fifth grade.
I hated fifth grade.
Ugh. I loathe thinking back to those days when I had that horrible, wingy bangs haircut and braces, and my sister had to tight-roll my pants so I didn’t disgrace the family by wearing my pants the traditional way.
I got in trouble in class for reading when I wasn’t supposed to and the popular girls tricked me into thinking they wanted me to be in a club they formed.
I figured it out when I ran for classroom treasurer and I only got two votes. One was from me; the other from my best friend.
I faked sick more than once, just so my mother would come pick me up and get me out of that hellish temporary classroom building.
She probably knew I was faking, but she brought me McDonalds Happy Meals anyway. And they worked.
At least she loved me, even if I had braces, was too skinny and only had one friend.
I still have the happy meal toy – a quarter-pounder with cheese that turned into a transformer – to prove it.
(Thanks M-O-M.)
But, looking back on all of it, I realize that a jack and coke really would have put things into perspective.
Drinking age be damned.
