When I was really little the one thing I remember about my childhood is my grandmother. I remember her so well only for the reason that every time she had me over she talked about the same thing. You can’t forget something easy when she has burned it into your head. Doesn’t mean you follow it but you remember it and weather you listen to it or not it is always on your mind. she always used to tell me about boys. BOYS, BOYS, BOYS, all she ever talked to me about and all she said was how they were evil and how that I should stay away from them.

I listened to her until I was 12 and my mother exclaimed to me why grandma hated men and why I should just not listen to grandma’s advise any more and how it would be really good if I stopped yelling at every boy that ever tried to talk to me and stop hitting the guys that came near me. Now it was not like all of the sudden I was in good with all the guys. I may have had the looks at the age of twelve but what I did to the guys they sort of did not forgive and forget.

Now it is really bad when you treat your fellow twelve year old boys like they are dirt because when you have that change around and you start to see the light they are still looking at you like the EVIL girl that used to try and kill you if you even went near her. That is what happened with one of the guys I like to. Jared was the guys that I started to like when I was in 8th grade. But you know I I said it was really bad if you treated guys bad at such a young age well yeah that would be right. Now you see while some of the guys warmed up to me because I was being nice now and did not even touch them in a violent way or anything. Some still held a grudge. Well you know Jared held more then a grudge and by the end of 8th grade we were at each others thoughts all the time.

You would think growing up would do something to the both of us but that was a no go and I had it in my mind he hated me and I got it into my mind that I hated him too. And so it went all through high school. Now you know how when you are enemy’s with a guy in high school they tend to joke around with you all the time and tell you that you are going to be walking down the isle with the guy. Well that is so not the case for us. See now even though I was civil with the guy there was no way any one would mess with me. I was the hard chick and no one wanted to get in my way.

He was on the football team and he was like looked at like a god in our school and he also had the macho look. What can I say we had a look in school and no one got in our way. I still say that it is because all the teens at our school were chickens and I always now joke with my husband that if they had said something that we would have been married sooner and would have been so much happier sooner. Because I did marry my worst enemy and now we have the marriage that could go in the fairy books and I love it all. I love him and I love our two kids. If only we would have known we loved each other sooner. I blame it on my classmates at high school.
