It just sounds softer and more musical Joe, dear. If you actually speak the language then the insults actually make sense to you and you don’t just smile and nod. Kitty ---

Well, he came to school today. Of course I didn’t see him under after school when I thought he wasn’t around (because he wasn’t in spanish class) and I was spazzing out about finding my best friend, Rachel and trying to think of fundraising ideas for our Science Club. I still say we should auction off the vice president… but that’s just me. So I talked to him while walking down to the bus (it’s a long walk) and at the bus stop, we talked it all out and I think it went alright. Of course it seemed as if he took it well but with guys you never really know. I learned that looking down keeps you from thinking too much, there are awfully interesting rocks around the campus. I learned that biting my tongue and not arguing any point I object to can be a good thing too. Oh well, now I get to deal with Daniel… _sigh_ Kitty ---

FPK, there is a girl in my sign class, 17 years old. Yesterday she asked me how old I am . In the tone of, Like you know, when someone is interested in you, so I said, ‘Old enough to know better & I don’t give lessons’ She looked so disappointed; but thats the best way to handle it. ---

I think it’s funny, handy, that you advise against people posting their dirty laundry for the whole world to see, saying nobody wants to read it, and yet you always respond to these threads. ---

Everybody loves dirty laundry. I know that’s true because my guardo camino, Don Henley, says so. [minor hijack] For the record, I’m also old enough to know better and don’t give a damn. Free lessons available here. I’m basically indescriminate. Halleluijah. There’ll be refreshments after the meetin’.[/minor hijack] ---

Turpentine, my laundry isn’t dirty. It might be my laundry but that looks like clean laundry, no games… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-question-for-the-guys-and-girls-too/41890.md?page=2)
