My favorite part about coming home for holidays, besides seeing my friends and family of course, is finding out about high school assholes who are already on the long decline from their adolescent peak. Past delightful information has included the jock who couldn't get into med school and now lives in his parents' basement, another jock who got into TFA in Baltimore and quit after a month (who's hard core now??), and the mean girl who got really, really fat.
Anyway, last night I went to a local restaurant with my friends, none of whom are living in their parents' basements, and was absolutely thrilled to see another high school athlete waiting tables there. Not only that, but he had gained a lot of weight, and later facebook snooping yielded that he failed out of college and is once more living at home. That will teach him for being an asshole to me in middle school.
I love delayed gratification.
After our discussion of this topic last night, a perusal of the Frederick News-Post over breakfast revealed a middle school tormentor of mine who got arrested for driving on a suspended license.
ReplyDeleteDoes feeling good about these things make us evil?
No! We're only evil if we relish in physical harm or death, everything else is totally fair game.
