Well it was on her birthday in mid-December and we were sitting in the classroom listening to the teacher review the assignments for the day. I suddenly heard a loud thump, turned around, and saw my friend squirming around like a snake on the classroom floor. I told my classmates to move their chairs away to give my friend plenty of space and I quickly got a pencil in hand and put it in between her lips so her tongue would curl around it. I was nervous, yet felt sure of myself that I was following her instructions just as she had relayed them to me.
