A Bad Kisser
FOUND by Robin in Connecticut
I was substituting a fifth grade class and found this when I was cleaning up at the end of the day. It blew me away to think this kid was probably only 11 years old and he's already been branded a bad kisser! Maybe we need to spend more time on SPELLING with Joey!

rew up to be a well-known lyricist, though critics almost always cite his heavy reliance in cliche. Still, it's believed that although he was accomplished in his career, he lacked the same successes in the bedr

Stay away from Marissa, Joey, she's just a tease. How could *she* know you're a bad kisser? She's hardly even spoken to you, except to yell, "EW! Cooties!" and run away. She's never even been over to play video games and she's already trashing your rep.

Stick with Gaddy, who knows quality when she sees it.

(Wait...was it Gaddy who told Marissa what a bad kisser you are? Never mind. Dump em both. Hook up with Mindy instead.)

My daughter's in 5th grade, and I can't believe the poorly-spelled scandal that goes on in her class.

What you really need to work on with Joey is telling his Bs and Ds apart. If he gets any older Gabby isn't going to appreciate him spelling her name wrong all the time. At that age, is it a sign of a bigger problem?

In 5th grade, liking "gurls" is ok. "Girls," however, are a totally different thing.

I just can't get over how quickly kids grow up these days.

When I was a kid, I didn't have my first stalker ex-boyfriend until my sophomore year of HS. Gaddy is way ahead of me on that curve.

This is tragic on so many levels.

I think Marissa and Joey should get married.

I hope they are not using tongues yet. I think they need to wait for 6th grade to do that.

Aww -- FOUND posters, I like you better than anyone I never ment!

I'm thinking stude and bad kisser are two separate items on the list "why Marissa doesn't like Joey"...I hope he wasn't trying to say he was stewed! (drunk) More likely stupde, which means stupid when translated in English.

Joey, baby. Don't go crazy.

I woun't you all to know: my favorite Joeyism from this letter is thoungth.

Who'd a thoungth it?

He erased "right back"

Looks like Joey has dyslexia.

The only question I have is how long until we see them on Jerry Springer or Maury Povich.

"I woun't you to know I'm not stude. I thoungth we would be together forever. I'm glad I ment you. But the baby isn't mine."

@Me in the office: That's exactly what I was thinking, which means that writing the note was an extremely stressful experience for Joey. He put himself out on a limb here folks. Don't saw it off so early, it is, after all, only 5th grade. I think it's sweet.

I'm just wondering how spelling lessons will help with Joey's kissing.

"But I would like you to know that I like you, and always will and I can't live without you, and I think about you day and night."

AWWWWWWW! It's so sweet that he's promising her forever at 11. This boy is going to be worth keeping some day. When he learns to spell properly that is. Honestly, Marissa, don't let Gabby steal Joey away from you. He's a keeper.

Joey had dyslexia, but he knew the only way he could redeem himself with Marissa was to write to her. She had said he was stupid and refused to go out with him, so he resorted to Gaddy, who also had dyslexia. When Marissa had seen him with Gaddy, she'd been mad. Apparently in fifth grade "NO WAY!" really means yes.

Okay, I submitted this FOUND last year. Joey has since moved to my hometown and goes to school with MY 11 year old daughter... She says he's gotten over Marissa now he'd just better keep his kiss-practicing lips away from my kid!

Looks like poor little second string Gaddy is going to get crumpled up and tossed in the gutter. Keep your eyes open for her Founders.

Considering Joey's frequent reversal of letters, I think Gaddy is really Gabby.

I think it's sweet. I hope Marissa doesn't break his heart.

But...probably will.
