Exiled in a kilt

Early love

Rate this Entry
Ok, I mentioned in Part 1 of the report stuff that I'd make an entry on this. It wont be as long or as funny as mtspurs entries however.

The first girl I ever loved was called Jane. I was about 5 1/2 and smitten, she had this mousy blonde hair and green eyes. I made her this fancy valentines card out of construction paper, macaroni, pipe-cleaners & glitter - then of course being the clumsy idiot I was/am I spilt my entire glass of Ribena (grape flavoured dilutable juice, for those unfamiliar with it). Of course the card was soaked and it now had a kind of psychedelic tie-dye look to it with dark red blotches on it.

Now some people would have made a new card instead, but I have always been kinda lazy so on the inside instead of some rhyme I wrote/scrawled "sorry the card is wet, I spilt my ribena on it" . I then gave it to her the next day at school. The teacher & her parents found this to be wonderfully cute, and after lunch she returned with a card for me (which I still have to this day actually). We spent the next week sitting together at playtimes - until I ruined things by throwing a worm in her hair

    I thought this story was adorable and I am major league impressed you still have the card.

    What a cute story. Amazing you remember. What ever happened to her? Did she leave you because of the worm?

    Yes, we split up because of the worm incident. It was the first (but by no means the last ) time that a girl/woman slapped me . We were at the same school throughout our entire school lives (she did dance with me at the leaver's dance). She was studying to become a doctor or vet or something like that last I heard.

    That was precious, funny how it goes when we are very small.
