When I was in 4th or 5th grade I got this idea in my head to sweet talk and romance a girl while we were protecting and serving classmates by making sure they didnt get killed walking the street.

It was the safety patrols job to monitor the street going across South Lake Rd from Burt.  It was actually very rare that we would help anyone out because most kids just ate inside the gym and didnt live near the school.

So my idea of romance was to kiss Laura Brandon because I really thought she was a cutie.  

And in order to prepare for this (this being my first kiss ever) I really had to kind of "prepare."   So as embarrassing as this is, I will post it.  I pretty much the night before kind of hugged and envisioned my romantic kiss with her with my pillow.  Acted as if it was her pretty much.

But the day came and I was very nervous as to what would happen.  When come to find out Laura wasnt there and some other girl took her place.  I remember feeling quite relieved and also a little mad that she wasnt there.

Oh well.  It was an interesting memory.
