what's wrong with toe jam?

dabney has recently been in touch with her long lost childhood friend abby polk. despite being thick as thieves in elementary school in florida, amy and dabney lost touch when dabney's family up and moved to vermont before she entered the 7th grade. it was only through the miracle of google that they reconnected last year. now abby, along with her boyfriend sorin, is coming to boston and will stay the night on their way to maine for a wedding. after 18 years, dabney is ultra-curious about the whole person that amy has become and was pretty happy to hear that she is a documentary filmmaker. here she is, with sorin, at her sister's wedding this year.



dabney has many, many memories of abby and the rest of the polk clan. she practically lived at their house while growing up in talahassee. but her all time favorite recollection is the time that abby and dabney conspired to send mean valentines day cards to their male classmates in the 5th grade. they called them things like toe jam. in print. for valentine's day. alas, some traumatized 5th grader ratted them out, and ms. vincent and ms. plott made the two criminals spend the entire valentine's day party across the room with their heads down on their desks. dabney remembers their friends smuggling them candy.
