I worked from the time that I was 14, detassling corn, walking beans and then retail jobs. I was a cheerleader, dance captain, drama queen, and manager of the girls’ basketball team, so high school was my life. OTOH, I partied so much more than my DS and his friends. My friends and I would go to 4-keg parties just about every weekend, and remember getting alcohol poisoning at least twice. I always thought my grades were comparable to DS, but when I ordered a transcript for myself I forgot about my senioritis (including a D in French 4).

DH was a typical Berkeley stoner, getting high in the park at lunch and racing motorcycles every weekend… We always wonder how two party people could have such a straight kid.
