Of course I think *we* were almost always in the same one (otherwise, how were we friends in the great elementary school hierarchy?), so there goes that theory. I'm blaming it on 4th grade. If you are who I think you are, you got the cool teacher ;)<br/><br/>So seriously, what was his mom doing that she didn't bake cupcakes--she didn't even have another kid at home at that point ;) Friend, you have a *much* better memory than I–maybe I wasn’t in Eddie’s classes as often.

Come on, most of us brought in homemade cupcakes...not our Eddie. He always brought a box of chocolate cupcakes/with chocolate icing (no filling) and a box of krimpets (butterscotch, not jelly). Don't be freaked out, some things I just don't forget. Don’t you remember in grade school, what Eddie G would bring to class on his birthday???
