My parents taught me those things. Funny, they also taught me to read, write, count, and to think for myself. At school I met future convicts, active gang members, learned how to fight, and studied the politics and uses of bullying. These things kept me in trouble for years.
School was wasted time.

First kid I saw get beat up-was in school.
My first kiss was in the school coat room.
The first time I felt up a girl was in the snow on the school playground. Those girls always called us nasty, but come recess, they'd be right there by the fence waiting...


Yeah, school taught me some things alright.
