Saying Thank-You

I wish I had understood at the time but I think I was somewhere between 8-10 years old and my class went on a field trip to the Richmond Zoo. I mean its a deciduous forest moderate climate South side Richmond location and theres a zoo with giraffes ( I LOVE), penguins, kangaroo, you get he picture... Well I've never been too fond of girls so I pretty sure I spent the majority of the trip hanging with my friend Dominque. And at the end of the day of who knows what foolishness, he bought me a plastic fake snake. I told him thank-you and I really meant it. I really like snakes HAHA!

Well I just found the snake. I thought more about what it really meant. You do nice things for your friends. This boy really knew who I was. He wasn't going to give me a fluffy pink tutu or some mess. I know I was a kid but the other boys in my class who I clearly payed more attention to in retrospect never gave me a damn thing. I did get a stab wound and hurt feelings from them though. I think that it's important to realize who your true friends are and to tell them thank you!
