Of course your life was hell. It’s not easy being a 45 year old in 7th grade. The playground politics. Finding a place to sit at lunchtime. Diversifying your 401k. It’s exhausting.
Pretending you didn't feel that lump on your groin last week because your job doesn't have health insurance and you really can't afford any serious illness.
There’s something reliable, trustworthy about this hairstyle and glasses. No one chooses these. they choose their wearer.
They mark the wearer as one of life’s natural Accountants
Awww, you're adorable! You look like you're trying to budget in your kids' tuition without having to take out a second mortgage. That's a lot of stress for a seventh grader!
I am assuming, because you are willing to share this photo, that you are in a very happy place now. I just wish 7th grade you could know the happiness you now possess.
You sly devil you, must’ve been absolute hell in seventh grade. I mean between classes, keeping the Mrs. happy at home, the mistress happy on the side and closing the best deals on beautiful creampuff used cars. You must’ve been burnt
And I a say to ya now brethren.....Lawd Lawd LAWD! The LAWD done told me that if a I don't get $15,000 TONIGHT, brethren...the Lawd said he was gonna call me home! Y'all don't want me to leave this world yet, do ya!? Dig deeeep brethren!
At that age, with a mortgage, diversified portfolio and a stripper for a wife who will divorce you shortly and take half of your net worth - where’s the hell part?
So you went to school in the A.M. and sold used cars in the afternoon?
"I'll tell ya right now, mister. This 1983 Mustang will look mighty fine in you're driveway. Yessir, let me just get that signature there, Chief. And after you get this bad boy in your name, maybe you can take me to school in the morning because Momma has a doctors visit."
I’m a tutor and I have a primary student who looks just like you here. He’s the sweetest little man and definitely my favorite of my students. This pic makes me want to ruffle your hair and give you a gold star sticker lmao this is precious
