David and I had always heard about each other growing up but because we were in different multiage classes in elementary school we never got to meet. It wasn't until baseball season in 5th grade that we finally met at the little league fields. A friend and I had just found out the night before that it is almost impossible to take a bite of a raw onion without throwing up. We found this out because I actually puked on the floor!! The next day we thought it would be funny to run around asking people to take a bite of an onion. David just so happens to be the first person we asked, we ran up to him and could barely get the question out through our laughter. He was smart and said no of course, but he always remembered me after that. It wasn't until sixth grade that we really became friends, but we'll always remember that it all started with an onion.
