“When I was in seventh grade, I was caught stealing money from the visiting team's locker room during a basketball game. So I was sent to The Brothers.

But I was thrown out for telling a couple of really lame kids on the playground that I had heroin.” MeanKidsSchoolGamesRoomsTeamInfluenceNew YorkBrotherCoupleBasketballCaughtStealingGradesThrownMasculineVisitingHeroinLamePlaygroundsLockersLocker RoomSupervisionBasketball GameSeventh Grade Author:George Carlin
