he feels guilty to this day
People's comments about the pet rock on Karmyn’s entry made me remember a story of my husband's.
When he was in First Grade (70s) a girl gave him a pet rock but he had no clue that the rock was supposed to be special and he threw it in the flower bed. The next day when she asked him how he liked his pet rock, he secretly went searching for it. He couldn’t find the rock so he just grabbed a similar one. He showed it to the girl proclaiming to love it. She ran away crying.
It was the wrong rock. He’s never recovered from his first lost love.
Oh! That was harsh - but funny. - oh those first loves!
There must have been something special about that rock -- I remember when
people actually paid real money for pet rocks
Awww, that's a sweet story even though it ended tragically.
Hahahaha. Oh, poor guy. It's so sweet and funny. I can't stop laughing.
