Well, whatever, 'cause you’re _ugly_!

So there! Now, where did I put Mom’s blush and mascara? If I don’t put it back before she gets home tonight she’s going to ground me.

Then, how will I be able to call Tommy Mason on the phone?

Ooops! :eek: I didn’t just say that! I didn’t mean it!

Excluse me, but your characterization of people at ten is insulting. You were once ten, and if this is how you choose to depict us, it says more about your memory than it does about us.

Or maybe this really _is_ how you were at 10, which might explain many things.

(Funny how quickly this deteriorated into a free-for-all. I certainly don’t remember that at age 10. I had my nose in a book and occassionally came up for air to play with my Little People Castle and A-Frame house.)

(flings sand in **ivylass** ’s eyes)

Ha ha! Got you back!

Oh, and I stole your mom’s blush and mascara, stomped on them, and threw them in the dumpster behind the school!

Thhhhhhbbbbpppppt!

Hey, wanna come over to my house after school? I live right next door to Tommy and you can see into his bedroom from my little sister’s room.

Thanks, **Q.N.**. I’m sorry I got sand in your shoes.

But naked? Ewww…that’s just gross! But I have my Britney Spears CD in my backpack. We can sing along to it at your house.
