So the neighbor kid, whom I try to help out/mentally enrich whenever I can, passed by the window yesterday engrossed in a book. I got all warm-fuzzy and thought there was hope for him yet.
Then today we drove past and he was squatted outside someone's house, going through their garbage bags.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU PUNY LITTLE BASTARD. I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE A MAN OUT OF YA, OBVIOUSLY, BUT COME BY ANY TIME AND I'LL WHIP YOUR SUPPLE LITTLE GIRL BODY INTO A SHAPE
It wasn't so much a complaint post as an, "I can't believe I just saw a neighbor kid go through someone's trash bags, I was pretty sure this wasn't Calcutta" post.

Reason: "in" -> "an"
Back in elementary school, I sat next to a kid who got the best grades in the class. I saw him eat out of the garbage on quite a few occasions. Maybe waste makes you smarter?
I love how all the money in the world is poured into making people aware of breast cancer, yet I'd wager that not a tenth of that amount would go to actual research.
