flashback









the blue carpet square


The year was 1979
The place was kindergarten

Everyday we would gather 'round in a circle
to learn the important stuff..
like the alphabet.. numbers..the proper way to hold scissors..
whatever

We would all line up and grab a "carpet square" to sit on
there was this one carpet square in particular..
it was ROYAL BLUE

Everyone wanted it.

So when the teacher would say LINE UP!
THERE WAS A MAD SCRAMBLE to the front of the line
to grab the ROYAL BLUE carpet square.

Until one day.

"Elizabeth"
(short red hair, freckles, rather quiet)

On this day Elizabeth was fortunate enough to get first in line.
She grabbed "royal blue" and carried it with pride.

We all sat in our circle
everything was going as usual..

Until Elizabeth suddenly jumped up and ran over to the teacher
and whispered in her ear.. she had a distressed look on her face.

The teacher looks over at the Blue carpet square
all the kids in class turned their heads at the same time to look..
**What's going on! What Could be wrong with the Blue carpet square?????**


Teacher runs over to the BLUE CARPET SQUARE
and carries it away, all sopping wet ... dripping as she walked

A hush fell over the kindergartners
all stunned... watching the teacher carry it away...
like a fallen soldier on the battlefield.

Elizabeth pissed
all over the ROYAL BLUE CARPET SQUARE


It was a sad day.. a day that will live in infamy
It wasn't that carpet squares time to go

It was OUR FAVORITE

I still recall a shout out from the circle..
"Not the Blue One"


It was never seen again.

Thanks for changing my name to "Elizabeth" to protect my identity in this post.

Some Guy said...

I'm perplexed by the fact that a story so tragic could make me laugh so hard.

i personally do not see the humor in denagrating a woman with a bladder control problem....there are countless "elizabeths" and "jessicas" and "kristens" out there ....who have been subjugated to unfair attacks....if this story was about a boy urinating you would have no story, would you?

Jen said...

No.. I would still have a story..!!

Apparently there's a lot of "elizabeths" and "jessicas" and "kristens" in Brockton, Massachusetts

The Wife O Riley said...

Fast foward 2008, "Elizabeth" hair all ratty, dark circles, chapped lips, rocking back and forth chanting "I should have picked the green one...I should have picked the green one."

Since when does a girl become a "woman" in kindergarten? She wasn't slaughtered on it, fucko - she peed on it... Peed like everyone else in her class for the fifth time that day. It wasn't the peeing under attack, vulcan... the only denegrating done this day was to the Royal Blue carpet square. Which, by the way, was also MY FUCKING FAVORITE. We SHOULD have attacked the bitch, then I'd feel better.

...moving on...

Miss Alex said...

Coffeypot said...

I was wondering, did the class gather around the embarrassed little freckled face, red hair girl and beat the shit out of her for pissing on the sacred blue square?

Jen said...

coffeypot- no beating..
there was too
much shock and awe

What a wasteful kid! At least I had the good sense when I was younger to just piss my pants while standing near the bathroom.
