School Friends
I never had school friends that I would do things with, because I was always the odd man out. Being a J.W. we were not allowed to associate with the world(anybody who is not a J.W) unless absolutely necessary, so talking and playing at school was as far as that went. Thing is we couldn't play with J.W kids either,because their parents knew my dad was a drunk, and there was NO WAY they were going to let there kids come over. So in an attempt to make friends I stole a five dollar food stamp from my moms purse. I knew that some of my school mates would go home for lunch, and then stop at circle k to buy candy on their way back to school. I told them they could buy whatever they wanted, when they got back they had big bags of Doritos, Bubble Yum gum, and so much candy it was even funny. Back then five dollars was like a hundred dollars, so there was tons of junk food. How in the world could I go home with so much stuff left over. One, I thought for sure my parents were going to find out there was a five dollar food stamp missing, and for two my parents would ask where I got all this junk food from. So in a panic I started flushing Doritos's down the toilet(why I just didn't throw it all in the trash is beyond me)Did this stunt get me friends? No. I will tell you what it did give me a guilty conscious, and one more thing to add to my list of things I would pray for forgiveness for.
