So a little background is definitely warranted with this post. In about 3rd grade, my sister and I adopted two guinea pigs from our cousins....Curly and Snuggles. Curly belonged to me - and he was my pal. I woke up to him every morning and played with him every night before bed. Curly was not one of those pets that I got and then forgot about. Curly and I had a bond like no other - I gave him all the lettuce and celery a guinea pig could want....Then one night, Curly fell ill. I remember feeding him medicine through an eye dropper because I knew something was wrong. I woke up the next morning hoping Curly would be all better, but he was even worse. I went to school and I remember coming home and my mom telling me Curly had died.
I did not take it well. So even though in a way this post is definitely funny, it goes to show you how attached a child can become to a pet, and yes, even a guinea pig. Of course, as you can see, in my own typical way, I took the drama to new levels....
*I'm very sorry if any of the language offends anyone. I cleaned it up as much as I could!

Today was the worst day of my whole entire life. Curly died. I'm am so upset. I have just one thing to say to God. Why did you have to f-----g, g--- dam, son of a b----h have to make Curly die? He never did a thing wrong. Is that the way God operates? The people who are good just die? It's like out with the old in with the new. I hated today. Good Bye!!

About Me
- Mr. Trig
- This blog follows my diaries from 1990-1992, kept at the direction of my mother. If any of you kept a diary as a child, I highly recommend digging it up. In 1989, my family and I moved from Churchville, PA to Rydal, PA, a suburb about 10-15 minutes outside of Philadelphia, PA. I was new to the school with a long Armenian name that I was sure would immediately make me an outcast. I was anxious about making friends. The kids welcomed me with open arms (I still count them as my closest friends to THIS DAY) - and so did the teachers. Sadly some of the people are no longer with us - but the memories are as fresh in my mind now as they were then. I remember my first slow dance, my first "girlfriend", our breakup, the day my pet guinea pig Curly died (your jaw will drop when that is posted), and my recollection of the current events of the time.... Maybe the stories will make you laugh - or maybe if you have kids they'll remind you that kids see and hear everything! Whatever your point of view, join me in reliving my rollercoaster ride through adolescence during the early 1990's!!!!

Poor Mr. Trig!!!
This inadvertently sheds light on some of the biggest questions about life people have held since always. It's funny how a little post about a guinea pig can do that! It is just a little heart-breaking..
I am so sorry about Curly but I seriously laughed so hard at picturing you flipping out and cursing...
