66/365/Secrets and Lies in 56

Beth, who was twelvish, like me, claimed that Donny Osmond, who was seventeenish, was writing her love letters, and she produced them (no envelopes), and let me read them, and his handwriting was remarkably exactly like Beth’s, which is kind of amazing, don’t you think? Donny got married a few years later. Oddly, not to Beth.

  1. I admire Beth's industriousness--she's definitely part of the upper echelon of liars.

  2. Wow . . . if their handwriting looked similar, they probably had a lot in common. Too bad he wasn't a dedicated correspondent.

  3. Cruel of him to lead on a twelve-year-old like that.

  4. Osmond was a cad, not like Bobby Sherman, who loved me.

  5. Mine was David Hennessy from Dark Shadows. He was my secret boyfriend.

  6. When I was 13, we had exposure to Donny Osmond, David Cassidy, or the Bay City Rollers. That was it. We had to pick one.
