Joe Evans: When Israel Was a Child

Summary:   You know, some relationships end - and some seem to end more easily than others. I was in 6th grade and I had a girlfriend. Her name was Katherine and we really made our relationship official when at the end of our 5th Grade year we couple skated holding hands at the local skating rink. Unfortunately, then we went on to 6th grade, that was middle school and in middle school things were different. There was this guy there named Ben and he gelled his hair and before I knew it I was climbing into the school bus when one of Katherine's friends ran up and told me that Katherine would be breaking up with me because Katherine was now going with Ben. It seems to me that after you've couple skated with someone the decent thing to do is to at least break up with them face-to-face, but Katherine didn't see it that way and just like that the relationship was over. It was less simple for a friend of mine in 8th grade. She called up her boyfriend Steve to deliver the bad news - that they would be breaking up - but Ol' Steve, he saw it coming a mile away and wasn't about to let this relationship end, so he had this Boys to Men song playing in the background when she called: "'Till the end of the road, Girl I can't let you go, It's unnatural, You belong to me, I belong to you."   Now with that song playing, this break-up wasn't so easy.
