I went to a back to school nite w/ my parents for my big sis, I wasn't in school yet. The grades went from K-8th, but the 8th grade was in a seperate closed off hall. My dad told me the hall was where they kept the spanking machine, so I worried about going to 8th grade for a long time, because other students weren't alllowed down that hall, so I couldn't find out!

My family moved when I was about 7, and I started at a new school. At first, all the people in my new class looked like people at my old school. For a little bit I was convinced that they were doubles (or close to it, there were some differences), and, in each town, there was an "equivalent" (I probably didn't use that word back then) for each person. I never told anyone. I never found my equivalent (and I still live in this same town, 12 years later). Maybe if another "you" moves to town, you get notified and have to move.

Now that I think about it, going from preschool into kindergarten, I think there were a few doubles there (that definitely weren't the ones from preschool!)

When I was in kidergarten, I came home from school one day and told my parents that one of my friends told me that if I ate a lot of crackers, I would never have to go to the dentist.

Our music class would be right next to the faculty lounge where all the teachers would go...During class I'd smell all of this food cooking and felt like going on in.



I was convinced that the teachers would
go into the lounge and press this little button,wherein would result as a magical kingdom with a swimming pool,
tropical rainforest, clouds all over the place and an un-ending amount of candy and food.Which they lived in after school.
