I endured grade school in the early '50s in a
three room rural institution.
We were packed like sardines in rows of snap-together desks and I sat behind a girl from
one farm over who was a year younger than I.
(I was 13 and we were friends)
That May, while the instructor was handing
out the papers for the final exam, I felt my
left foot getting wet and heard splattering.
Shortly after, the girl at the desk to my right
stage-whispered "Carla peed her pants!"
After the excitement had subsided I was selected
to walk Carla home to change since we were both
wet and lived in the same area.
On the way home I ventured that she must have
been scared about the exam. She said that she
hadn't even studied and wet her pants deliberately
in order to avoid having to write it.
We were never more than friends and she is
now a happily married grandmother.
The what-ifs haunt me still.
