Matt Q

My friend Kim’s brother got married on New Year’s Eve. During the reception she was talking to this guy at her table about what elementary schools they went to. When he told her he went to IHM, she immediately had him name off people he remembered.

And who was one of his most memorable people? That would be me. I even got the privilege of taking up some dream space in his mind.

Why did he remember me? Well back then I was a pretty good kisser and I kissed him with my big lips (at that age they practically took over my whole face) in the large tractor tires of the jungle gym.

Oh, Matt…he was dreamy with his brown hair and his hazel eyes. You know, dreamy, in that second grade sort of way.

There was a lot of kissing that went on in those tires. My best friend always cornered some guy or other in there. I think she even got suspended from recess a few times for too much lip action.

And then there was Tanya. Tanya later became my very own husbands Home Coming date. Which brings me to the question, Adam did you kiss her? How weird would that be? Me, sitting in the tires watching Tanya kissing Eric at age 7 and then at age 14 she was kissing you.

If so, I probably could have given you some hot pointers.
