:14:03
Ugly, her face full of pimples
:14:05
and obsessed with
the idea
:14:08
of becoming my best friend.
:14:12
It's not as if I didn't have
other things on my mind at the time.
:14:15
Believe me.
:14:17
Look up, please.
:14:19
Well,
:14:21
anyway,
:14:23
one day, she showed up
:14:24
with huge, thick glasses.
They were grotesque.
:14:27
Look straight ahead, please.
:14:29
She really looked like a frog.
:14:33
I mean,
:14:34
she was rather pitiful
but you know how kids are.
:14:38
"How do you like
your best friend's glasses?"
:14:42
"Horrible," I told her.
:14:44
She gave me this look
:14:46
a look I'll never forget.
:14:49
- And in her German accent...
- Look down.
:14:53
...full of hate, she said:
:14:54
"I wish you all
to have to wear glasses!"
:14:59
We died laughing, of course.
:15:01
She just stood there
:15:03
not knowing what to do
and suddenly, she pissed herself...
:15:07
Uh, I mean, she peed on herself.
:15:10
I mean,
:15:12
imagine: standing like that,
in the middle of the classroom
:15:15
and suddenly,
a little puddle on the floor.
:15:20
And...
:15:21
what became of her curse?
:15:23
Well...
:15:24
by senior year,
we all wore glasses.
:15:27
The whole class?
:15:29
The whole class.
:15:32
The teacher came in
:15:36
and asked what was on the floor.
:15:40
She ran away.
:15:43
So it was up to us
to clean it up anyway.
:15:48
But,
:15:50
I mean,
:15:52
you know how kids are.
:15:55
What else could we have said?
