Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for November 28, 2016

‘The Great Fatsby’? Now I picture a rolly-polly Leonardo DiCaprio with a double chin and holding his martini glass in a toasting gesture.

Being clever comes and goes like the wind.

Hahaha! Genius Amanda!

At least the bully’s were well read and knew classic Paul Newman films.

Hah! My brother and I used to be pretty rough on each other with “fat” insults! And even after slimming down, do you think we stopped? But now that we grew up (slightly), we do it more for fun and less for spite. Yeah, we’re kind of weird people! X-D

I used to think I was fat in high school. I did lose a lot of weight after hs working for a screen printer and sweating in a metal building all day. But I look back at old photos and think, I wasn’t really fat at all. It’s just the image kids inflict on you.

I bet all those kids have gained weight through the years!

Maybe it is better that they weren’t clever.

I was taunted with Wares, Wares, UNDERWEARS! I guess that might have been clever for 7 year olds. Hmmm, nah! :-)
