Met up with a woman I went to school with. She actually goes to reunions I don’t care.
She told me “remember so and so the football player? And so and so the head cheerleader? They come up to you at reunions and talk to you like they knew you in school. Now they are fat and the men are bald”
Funny is it not that time gets its own revenge on bullies.
Some kids I knew that had bullied me in grade school (which were typically jock on nerd ego trips) mellowed out in their later teens and were not at all unpleasant to meet. I knew only one grim exception and maybe he’s in prison now for all I know.
I remember once in grade school when a kid who had been bullying me, TOLD OFF a group of other kids who were giving me a hard time, and he never bullied me again. I do not know what led to the change of heart from bully to hero and I did not ask — but it’s not impossible.
ROFL isn’t it the truth!
Time has a way of nature getting even. Last year, I met a lady working at the local bank in the town we went to school in years ago. She looked at me and called me by name. I immediately recognized her as the shy girl I often shared bus seats with and she was as beautiful as ever.
I also met a couple of the "popular girls" in my class, and they look about as good as Barbra Streisand without makeup. Talk about getting rode hard and put up wet......
