I went to my 10th. Looked around and saw a bunch of people I really didn’t like 10 years ago. Never been back.

I don’t attend class reunions. I keep contact with the folks I like and avoid the ones I don’t.

Wait until their kids say,

” Dad, we’re so glad you and mom are getting together again after thirty years apart.”

“Say what?”

A little old couple walked slowly into a McDonald’s one cold evening.

The old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries, and a drink.

After they sat down, he unwrapped the hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife. Then, he carefully counted the fries, divided them in two piles, before placing one pile in front of his wife.

He took a sip from the drink, and then his wife took a sip. Then, he set the cup down in between them, and finally started to take little bites out of his burger.

All the while, the other customers around them started staring and whispering.

It was clear that they thought, “That poor old couple — all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.”

As the man began to eat his fries, a young man came over to the table, and politely offered to buy them an additional meal.

But the old man grunted, and said that they were fine. “We’re used to sharing everything,” he said.

Customers who sat closer to the old lady noticed that she still hadn’t taken a bite out of her food. She just sat there, watching her husband eat.

The young man came over once more, and begged them to let him buy a meal for them.

This time, the old lady spoke. “No, thank you. we are used to sharing every single meal,” she echoed her husband.

Finally, the old man finished his half of the meal. And still, his wife hadn’t taken a single bite.

The young man came over to their table for the third time, and asked the old lady, “What is it that you are waiting for?”

Without looking up or hesitating, she answered: “The teeth.”

I didn’t bother with high school reunions. I didn’t live down to my classmates’ expectations. According to some, I died homeless. In reality I’m a VP at an engineering company.

I attended my 50th a couple of years ago. A few classmates had died and some had been very successful. Most were pretty much as I remembered.

I do recall wondering if the class beauty would show up. She was a widow and came in around half way through. Everyone was watching and I will have to admit she looked a lot better than I would have guessed anyone that old could.

I think the majority of people I would see if i had ever went, would be alcoholics and drug addicts. Since their parents were mostly alkies.

Got a photo of my class from the 50th. Pulled it out of the envelope, and thought, “Who are all these OLD PEOPLE??”

At my 40th high school reunion in 2010, a three sport letterman named Mike was wearing a dress and going by “Megan”.

I have not visited any of my reunions. A friend posted candid photos of my 40th reunion. Most people were sitting in the same cliques I remembered from 40 years previous.

I went to my 40th, and as I looked around I said to myself: “Where are my old buddies? Only their PARENTS are here!”

I went to three high schools, never really got close to anybody, so I've never been to a reunion.

I did play a gig once, the 50th reunion of a class of 1950, somewhere down around Denver.

11 of their classmates went to the Korean War, and didn't come back. The night was all about honoring them.

I was homeschooled so I can have reunions with myself anytime I want.

Sometimes people ask about homeschooling. They want to know what about friends and things. I usually ask them, of your highschool just how many people did you actually like? A couple? I had that many friends in scouts and at church. Did I miss hanging out with hundreds of other people I did not like? Nope.
