37/365 Chris
Not merely a member but the teacher-appointed Safety Patrol captain, Chris took her position seriously. She rigorously reviewed the deployment of her orange-belted squad. More than once she assigned Tiffany the farthest intersection, just to be pissy like any good sixth-grader with a badge.

Yummy!
Senator Chris someday? :-)
LOL
Love that last line!
Doesn't every 6th grade class have a lovely like Chris? And every fifth grade bitch-wanna-be aspires to be the pissy one.
thanks for this one ... I haven't had even the inkling of this memory until I read this ... I was once on the Safety Patrol in elementary school, and I can remember loving every minute (the orange heavy plastic straps, the wooden pole with a red stop sign, the shiny whistle on a black cord, and the best part of all - the silver badge that let everyone know you were special). It was one of the few times as a child that I thought I was somebody. Even if only for those minutes on the street corner, I was happy. Thanks for giving me that window.
