<strong>Thanks</strong> a <strong>Lot</strong>, <strong>God</strong>!<br />
My friend and Wendy became one in the front. The<br />
movie was <strong>God</strong>zilla, and it was loud and not well-done. At<br />
the intermission, my friend and I went to the snack bar<br />
and each got a cheese pizza. When we got back in the car,<br />
I took a slice and handed the box to Agnes. That was the<br />
last I ever saw of it. I am not sure she ate the box, but I<br />
never saw it again.<br />
After the movie, my friend dropped me off first, and<br />
that was the last I ever saw of him. I took heart in the fact<br />
that I had actually been on a date with a girl! No holding<br />
hands, no kissing, no cuddling, no touching of any kind.<br />
But it was a real date! I had broken the ice, and things<br />
would get better as I got older.<br />
