Let's see how Lynn ends the week; odds are that we might see a certain reprint after all; we sure aren't going to get to know why Deanna's back.

It's the reprint

She then gushes that the next twelve years will be the best years of his life.

What color is the sun in her world? I know I'm not alone in saying the best years of my life thus far were not between the ages of 5/6 and 18. After high school is when it started getting good.

I agree! karisu_sama September 5 2009, 08:11:44 UTC

College is when things finally started getting really good as far as I'm concerned; before that was frequently awful in several aspects.

What a terrible thing to look condemn little Michael to. Elly is setting him up to think that no matter how stressful and anxiety-ridden are the trials of childhood (and OMG they ARE), life will get no better than that and afterward it'll be all downhill.... :/

She pulled the same crap on Liz and April; that sort of explains WHY the Breath was so desperate to find a Nostache, doesn't it? Since she'd peaked when she was 19, she had to get married post haste lest she die aloooooooone.

I'm pretty sure my life hit its nadir at age eleven. Things have been steadily improving ever since.

Ages 9-12 were horrific. A nightmare. I don't think I could live through them again. I sent out some kind of signal to other girls that I was the perfect target for constant bullying.

I also remember that being a crappy time. ::shudder:

My wife has often told me that Junior High girls are incredibly mean. My daughter is 11 now and I hope she can make it through the time period relatively unscathed.

aprilp_katje September 5 2009, 17:29:16 UTC

Oh, I hope she does, too. There was something about middle school that just made it extra miserable.

Yes--and for me it's only gotten better since then. I remember how impatient I felt at the end of high school. I wanted it over. :)

17 through 20 were the best years of my life, with my 19th year being the highlight of them all.

And the years after 1996 have been pretty good too. :)

oooh, ditto. I was too weird-brainy (when you present Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" for an English book report in grade 10, you wind up realizing you don't fit in much :) to mesh with anyone at my high school, so I was pretty lonely and just *waiting* for university so I could meet people with similar interests.

Heh, I wish all of the lonely ones and bullied ones like us could have gone to school together! It would have made things a lot easier. I too, was one of those that broadcasted a signal saying, BULLY MEEE!!! to everyone at my (Middle) school. My family had to move to get me away from it all, because the school did absolutely nothing to stop it. In fact, they sent me to the school counselor for "therapy", when I think they should have sent the bullies instead.

I do think my life is getting slowly better though. I loved college because it was the first time I found people who were like me. Afterwards...well, we'll see. :)
