    Some boy said to me "In a couple of years your gonna look beautiful"...and when I got home I was like wtf does that mean, is he saying that I'm an ugly duckling who will transform as I get older, or did he mean that I was pretty but will be a lot more prettier as I age? Don't know, don't care...
