Things that I'd do as a inner city kid growing up. · 2:08am Feb 26th, 2020
Make a helluva lot of money selling these at school:
Play with these like it was my job (I STILL feel the sting of these things against my legs):
Played this game on the playground (and killin' it everytime):
Learning that the following were NOT safe to do at all (yet still did anyways):
Using this in a variety of ways:
Dealing with these almost daily as I got older:
Dragging a old tattered bookbag down the street to my friends' houses filled with these and these so we could play until the streetlights turned on:
Running in fear of my life from my mama (or occasionally my dad) whenever these were in hand and I knew I did something bad:
You guys got beatings?
Interesting.

Uh, duh! Yeah but it's nothing new.
5209744
Yeah.
5209747
Kay.
5209749
I mean...it ain't like it's anything super special. Schools were shit. Neighborhoods weren't always "safe" but dealt with it.
5209768
I mean, I don't know if it's legal to sell stuff at school, especially sweets.
5209774
Oh I'm sure it's illegal, yet that didn't stop any of us from doing it. Never got caught and the "lunch aids" were practically invisible.
5209782
Okay. Also, have you read the actual book Lunch Money before?
Also, happy 990 blogs! 10 more to go!
5209783
Book sounds familiar but I can't place why (also, this is blog 990?!? I honestly lost track [and am also using mobile via cellphone] of the amount of blogs I did).
5209831
Cool! Also, it was written by the same author as Frindle.
5209839
Again, sounds familiar but I can't understand why?
Littlest pet shop figures!!!! I loved those things!!!
5209969
Sorry.
5210052
....is it bad that I still collect those?
5210148
Y u sorry?
5210281
I didn't ring your bell the right way.
5210284
S'okay
5210308
Good, do you like comics?
5210310
Love comics
5210484
I like graphic novels.
5210718
Those are nice too.
5210799
Have you ever read any James Patterson books?
5210812
I have. His YA novels are quite good.
5210816
Nice. I'll read them sometime.
5210817
Excellent
5210818
I've only read I Funny and stuff like that before.
5210820
I see. I've read his mystery books since like the 7th grade (which for me was a little bit around a decade ago).
5210836
Woah. That's cool.
5211024
Yeah I guess.
5211148
I will do that, some day.
That first one got me laughing
5212742
Of course it did, yet I was being serious as I made money that I then had to hide from my family (running the risk of it being stolen)
5220723
Did they ever find it?
5222058
Sometimes. Then I'd be mad. Most of the time I'd have it very well hidden.
5222104
Nice
5222805
Yeah
5222880
I was able to hide that I broke my ipad by hiding it in a stuffed animal. To this day no one has ever found out.
5223391
Why a stuffed animal?
5223408
Seemed like no one would suspect it or look there. I was right
5223809
smart...yet a better place would be even more inconspicuous I.e. a book safe.
5223891
You mean the book that holds something in it?
5224306
I mean a literal safe that looks like a book.
5224310
Ah I see
