Peanut butt-er

Girls' Life, Feb, 2001

This is one sticky situation. A little bit of Jif can go a long way!

My crush was sitting at a lunch table next to mine. I got up to empty my tray, hoping he'd notice me. Apparently, I had sat on my friend's peanut butter sandwich and didn't realize it. All his friends laughed and pointed at my rear.

My crush walked me home after school, and I couldn't keep my eyes off him. Unfortunately, I didn't see the looming telephone pole in front of me and barreled right into it. My crush looked at me like I was the biggest klutz!

I was at Taco Bell with my crush, and he was looking at other girls. I wanted to get his attention, so I told him a joke. But I forgot about the food in my mouth, and I spit taco all over him. Gross!

Before meeting my crush at the mall, I was so nervous I screamed in the elevator--just to release some tension. Suddenly, the elevator stopped and the police opened the doors. Someone had reported I was hurt. By the time I got everything squared away, I was so late meeting my crush that he had gone home.

I was slow dancing with my crush at my birthday party. My mom came in the room, looked at the guy and whistled. She said, "You're even cuter than Tammy described." I was mortified.

My crush and I were at the movies when someone behind us tooted. My crush thought I did it, and he laughed so hard that he snorted.

My friends dared me to dance in front of my crush's house. Just as I was bustin' a move, his security system went off. He and his parents came outside, and the police arrived soon after. I had to explain the whole dare to everyone--the humility!

I had to wear this hideous bridesmaid dress in my aunt's wedding. I thought it'd be OK since none of my friends would be there. I was so wrong! As I walked down the aisle, I saw my crush in the pews--his grandparents run the church!

At lunch, I slurped up a big spoonful of Jell-O and gagged. But I kept talking to my friends and the guy I like. He stared at me and said, "Tricia, Jell-O is oozing out of your nose."

I was at McDonald's with my crush and had to go to the bathroom. I didn't see the "Wet Floor" sign, and I fell flat. Everyone cheered. My crush pretended he didn't know me.

My crush said to his bud, "She's hot." I asked the friend if he was talking about me, and he said, "No--Britney Spears."
