Inappropriate
As a completely inappropriate follow-up to my Grandma Sylvia post, I now must ask: why do middle schoolers draw pictures of penises in each other's yearbooks? It's so gross to open a kid's book to sign it, and there's a penis! One girl had some boobs in her book. Really? I don't get it. I guess it has always been that way, since I distinctly remember Abe Betancourt, who I didn't even know but who I rode the bus with, signed my 8th grade yearbook: "Have a f%$*in' headbangin' summer. Do bongs." Um, will do, Abe. And then he promptly threw my awesome green pen out the bus window. Nice.
In my fifth grade yearbook, a sixth grader in my gifted program wrote, "Have a good summer then die of AIDS". Thankfully, I didn't take his advice (Though I think I had a decent summer that year).
