This reminds me of high school when we would do the cracked out skits. We even had a dress up closet. I can remember when this awesome girl named Chelsea played my alcoholic mother, and she had a bottle in a paper sack. I want to know how the bottle/paper sack made it into the high school prop closet. Good times at Burns High.
P.S.
My Word verification code was "tacks." I think it's a sign, but let's just keep that between you and me.

I loooved those skits. One day we had a skit where we pretended to mix up "secador de pelo" (hair dryer) with "sacadaor de pelo" (hair remover) and we came to school with giant, ratty teased hair... all for two-minute skit. What overachievers.
I can't believe you guys had a dress-up closet?! Jealousies.
P.S. <3!!
