The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsReunions Should Be Elementary, My Dear Watson
It may sound odd or be odd, but I think it would be so much better to have 20 year reunions for elementary school grades then for high school.
I guess a lot of people want high school reunions so that they can check in on how others are doing, and hopefully take a stab or two at the preppies who are now busboys and housewives with 6 kids or something. They may also want high school reunions to see if they're better than anyone, or to have some sort of ego boost. Don't get me wrong, I'll be at my 20th reunion with my best dress on too, but I think it would much greater to have an elementary school reunion 20 years later.
I have such fond memories of elementary school compared to high school. Sure both could be great, but I wonder more about what my friends from elementary school are up to now. People went their separate ways in high school, so I don't know where any of them are, except for one who's still my best friend.
Maybe some schools out there do that, but they didn't think to do that in my day. I know I don't have the time or will to track these friends down myself, and most people don't, so that is why I think an elementary reunion would be great.

Yes that would be good... I would like to see what happened to all those boys I kissed for snow. Yeah, I made them pack me the hardest and roundest snowballs for a kiss on the cheek... Then I whipped some of them in the head with their own snowballs. I was nuts... Still am!

Great idea, Sam!
Like you said, many of my friends from elemetary school ended up going to different high schools. Heck, even those of us who attended the same high school lost touch through the years. I would love to meet up with some pals from elementary school and see what they are doing now.
Who do we contact about that? ;)

Yeah, but do I really want to see the kid who ate paste or the girl that I gave a "haircut" to during a film? :O)
Great blog!
