You might remember this I posted from my seventh-grade yearbook. It's an inscription from James Cox, but with all the passing along of books from person to person he lost track of whose book he was writing in and wrote a note to Wendy in mine.
He then realized his mistake and did what any seventh grade boy would do, crossed out her name and write mine…and then take out that whole "I think you're a total babe" part, too. Just to keep it honest.
It's okay, I wasn't a total babe until eighth grade…

More nonsense from Jr. High:
BellaKarma says
So funny!
I have a bunch of junior high school annuals ’round here, filled with “rad summer” sentiments too! 😉
Grant Forest says
I said it when you posted this before and I’ll say it again, “James is a tool.”
Catherine says
James Cox didn’t seem to be very meticulous, furthermore, he had a funny way to simplify his life : )
Serendipitous Girl says
I agree with Grant, James is a tool. But ohmahgah I have yearbooks full of rad summers and hope to see you at the beaches too! I think I’m going to need to bust them out because of you now … I don’t know if the internet can handle the sheer amount of Esprit that was my junior high school wardrobe though. Probably best to keep that to myself.
Suz says
I love this. I wonder where he is???? Did he really have a RAD summer himself??
Susan M says
Haha! I tried telling my daughter that when we were kids, we didn’t call people “hot.” If we thought someone was hot, we called them a babe.
She didn’t seem very interested.
fancy feet says
Funny! I love rad and stay cool and the xoxo’s. sigh. oh…high school.
Baby Favorite says
I think James’ friends are all hotter than he is. So there.
Debs says
I bet you were a “Total Babe” or at least you were a fox!
Brain Bunnies says
I must see a photo of Wendy!
Twenty Four At Heart says
That’s hysterical! have you found him on facebook? Is he still an insensitive ass? 😉
MomZombie says
You’re making me want to dig out my old yearbooks and read all the drivel: One I remember from a guy I was casually dating who wrote that he loved me. In the yearbook! But never said it to me. Ever. I’m guessing he wrote that in a lot of yearbooks and left a lot of girls guessing.So, there are these James Coxes everywhere. Watch out.
LMN says
Oh my gosh, that kills me! Good thing those kind of comments come along at the least critical times, when our self-esteems AREN’T developing or being quashed at a rapid pace! 😉 Good for your sense of humor. I do believe in “late blooming” myself. Can’t wait to hit my “best” stage of total-babeness, which I’m sure is ahead yet!! Thanks for the splash of humour. Love it.

You didn’t become a babe until 8th grade? Wow! Late bloomer… 😛

Mental P Mama says

Dawn says

Kara-Noel says
This is priceless! Speaking of Huntington… just discoverd to Lou’s Red Oak BBQ Grill (found out a friend is the owner… random). It was awesome. Have you been there?
MommyTime says
James was a bit of a jerk. But then, I never heard of too many hyper-sensitive 7th grade boys…
Nat says
You weren’t a total babe ’til 8th grade? Really?
Kristin A. says
he scratched it out??? omg thats pretty funny now but i bet it wasnt so much back then. now i wanna look through all my old yearbooks!
Meg says
That’s hilarious!
I wasn’t a babe until I was, like, 23. Or at least I didn’t think so. Late bloomer and all that.
Carrie Horton says
Come on I want to see this babe…no one is more babylicious than you Suz….
Jen says
That is hysterical!
foolery says
I was a total babe up until I started walking. Hoping it comes around again — maybe I’ll be a Hot Geriatric.
