“My dad came outside holding something behind his back. He showed my

boxers in front of my girlfriend.”

Jimmy Kemp, 10

“I was skiing when I was in kindergarten. I fell and hurt myself

really bad. Parents and a lot of other people were there too. I had to

get out of my snowsuit and boots, strip down to my sweatpants and

sweatshirt. I had sprained my arm. It was hard getting out of the snow

suit when I couldn’t move my arm.”

Meghan Wolf, 10

“When I was in third grade, my teacher was giving a lecture about

birds. It was kind of quiet inside and I burped out loud. This guy I

liked whispered to his friend, ‘I think that was Jordan.’ I was

embarrassed for the rest of the day.”

Jordan Snyder, 11

“One day I was playing soccer at recess. I accidentally tripped and

fell face-first in the mud puddle. My hair was hard for the rest of the

day.”

Lora Stoianova, 12

“I was in Palm Springs and had a loose tooth. I had a hot dog, bit

into it and my tooth went flying and almost hit an old man. He looked at

me strangely. He was walking by our table. I ran into the bathroom with

my tooth. This happened two years ago.”

Melissa Overton, 11
