I found this list while clearing up my bookshelf yesterday, stuck between one of the old notebooks. I made this list when I was eight, because my bestfriend Rachel at that time made me. Here’s what it said (exactly, in my eight-year-old hand);
Nasirah’s boyfriend must
1. be TALL
2. be Handsome or cute
3. like Disney movies
4. cannot be shy. Must tell his friends that I’m his girlfriend
5. be in my class
6. be smart and can spell
7. hand in homework
8. be nice to Miss Alice Ek
9. have fair skin
10. love his pets and family
11. bring chicken nuggets or hotdog to school for me
12. have nice smell
I laughed reading this. I must say, I think my English was pretty okay, even back then. I guess I knew better what I wanted when I was eight. Shame on you, Nas. Some things though, just never change. It amazed me how “TALL” appeared right at the top, in capital letters. Ten years down the road and I do still prefer guys who are at least one head taller than I am. I have an explanation for number 11. You see, my mother bans the consumption of hotdogs at home (yes, even till now) and so, I often crave for ‘artificial food’. Nuggets, were my favourite. HAHA.
About yesterday? I guess I probably shouldn’t mention much of it here. Eunice, shhh. Lol.
I just hope Sliv would give us the link to photos (:
