While going through my old photo albums searching for band pictures from high school for my upcoming band reunion I came across a note sent to me from my junior high school 7-th grade boyfriend, Robert.
I barely remember his last name or even what he looked like.
What a romantic, huh? LOL! It was folded in the traditional school note format where we cornered the edge into a fold. Too funny. Why I kept it all these years – I have no idea. Now it’s timeless history that I can’t throw away.
School days…. I bet today’s kids don’t ever write notes to each other. Remember how much fun it was passing them down the row hoping the teacher wouldn’t see you? Or writing them, folding the note and slipping into the locker through the vents?
Those were the days, my friends.
Talk about a trip down memory lane, huh? The note is too cute. So I wonder what you told Robert you wanted for Christmas! We already know nothing was not an option! LOL
What a great memory to have surface! Those were the days, indeed!
It cracks me up because my son is a 7th grader and he came home from a friend’s house last night talking about him having a girlfriend and how they text message each other during school! They get away with it because they keep their phones on silent! My, how the times have changed!
Or when the teacher would intercept the note and read it to the class? Agh!
As a former high school teacher (as recently as 2 years) I can assure that they still write notes to each other! My girls liked to pull out markers and make the top of it all fancy schmancy before they wrote the note itself. Hilarious. Of course now they try to text message across the classroom too, so that’s kinda tricky.
