Friday Firsts: First Crush
Friday Firsts: First Crush
(Read about Red’s “first” over at The Naked Redhead)
Have I ever told you that when I was little, I was fat? Now, I’m not talking a couple extra pounds of baby fat…I’m talking huge. No? Well, I was. As a child I had a kidney disease and for a few years I was on a steroid that caused me to balloon up. My grandmother on my mother’s side used to sing that old polka song “I Don’t Want Her” (…”you can have her, she’s too fat for me!”) to me. I was big.
So, as luck would have it, at the height of my fatness (that would be during kindergarten), I fell smitten with a boy named Chris. Honestly, I don’t remember much about him, other than him not wanting to play with me because… you guessed it… I was fat. Oh, I also remember that he dressed up as a transformer that year for Halloween: he was seated on the left-side of the class, I was all the way on the other end. Oddly enough, I can remember what *he* dressed up as that year, but I can’t recall what *I* dressed up as. I do remember that he wouldn’t sit next to me for our group Halloween picture, however.
That first crush was hard, though surprisingly not nearly as humiliating as a few of my teenaged crushes. Maybe I’ll tell you about those one day.
Maybe not.
