I published my pain for you.
Squid and Jennyalice have collaborated on the Can I Sit With You project and books - and my pain was not exempt from their gain.
All proceeds from this brilliantly clever fundraising and awareness-raising project go to SEPTAR, their local special needs PTA.
Did you know what a french kiss was in fourth grade?
Did you know what a retard was?
Did you know if you were one of the weirdos?
Did you know that your whole peer community - your entire class and your classmates - could turn on you in one second for being kind to the wrong people?
I found out the hard way.

That was beautifully written, Gwen. And oh, didn't I just wish I could go back and SMACK your teacher. What was she THINKING?
I loved that book, Jen sent me a copy and i read it with a tenacity unforeseen by mankind
It doesn't surprise me that you were already an awesome person even as a kid.
What an experience.
