"It's easier to floss with barbed wire than admit you like someone in middle school."
--Laurie Halse Anderson--I was privileged to meet Anderson at a literature conference... she writes young adult novels and is a truly gifted author. If you have middle schoolers or have worked with young adults who are 10-14 you will know that she nailed this quote.
This photo tells several stories...
@cwbill thanks Bill.
@theredcamera thanks Ellen... those are certainly tough years to go through.
@onewing thanks Babs... looking forward to a world of color in March!
@dutchothotmailcom thanks Esther... yes... Anderson nailed it!
@ludwigsdiana thanks Diana... happy you liked the shot & quote.
@aikiuser thanks so much Jenn... now making a picture to literally match the quote would be ever so painful.
@casablanca thanks so much... she is a very talented author and when I worked in high school libraries her works were well received
@wakelys thanks Susan.
@k9photo thanks Kate.
@merrelyn thanks Merrelyn... I'd be afraid to see a photo with a literal interpretation of the quote... ouch!
