Last week, I bought new shoes.A kid not in my class, Sister of One of My All Time Favorites, came up to me at recess and told me that she kind of liked my shoes. She said, "Bumblebee shoes are in. But then again, glow in the dark N's are definitely not. You kind of ruined the shoe."
Earlier in the day, Girl Who Loves Sparkly Clothes but Hates Hillary Clinton and Bumblebee Girl decided lunch time was a good time to give my hair a makeover. We were watching a movie at lunch when Bumblebee Girl came over and started messing up my hair to make it look more stylish. She didn't ask me if she could do this but I let her because I knew it would lead somewhere funny.
Girl Who Loves Sparkly Clothes but Hates Hillary Clinton: Don't do that to Mr. Listmaker! Old people don't put their hair like that.
Bumblebee Girl: Messy hair like this is in!
Girl Who Loves Sparkly Clothes but Hates Hillary Clinton: But not for old people. Old people with gray hair do NOT have haircuts like that!
Bumblebee Girl: But he'll look younger if he does this.
Turns out she was right! This is what I looked like afterwards. That's me on the far left.
By the way, Girl Who Loves Sparkly Clothes but Hates Hillary Clinton has recently transferred her John Travolta obsession into a Dean Martin obsession.

I just googled "bumblebee shoes cool" - this site makes the top 10.
I searched http://www.youlookfab.com for "bumblebee" and found nary a result.
Whatever. "Bumblebee shoes are in" is my favorite quote of 2008.
hey pallie listmaker, gotta say that girl who loves sparkly clothes has such good taste...and nice to see more and more of today's youth fallin' in love with our Dino. Never was, never will be anyone as cool as the King of Cool....oh, to return to the days when Dinowalked the earth...
Great to see another Dean Martin fan. He's a great all around entertainer. He wasn't dubbed the King of Cool for nothing. My sister is 22. She's fallen hard for Dean Martin herself over the last year or so. The man's the best.
Me and Girl Who Like Sparkly Clothes need to have lunch together.:) Too much fun
I love Dean Martin too, especially when he sings Volare. If I didn't think it would result in your immediate dismissal, I would suggest buying GWLSCbHHC the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts on VHS!
Did you inform them that you won't be old until you're 37?
i told the girl who ridiculed my shoes that a friend of mine had looked up "bumblebee shoes are in" on the internet and nothing came up. she wanted to know if he had also looked up "big glowing n's are out." i told her, "not yet."
