Not really. Rahter to some of my friends I would gently poke and them and make the "hee hee" noise thus causing them to laugh. I would however never poke them in the belly, usualy the arm.

I did however have one friend in Houston who said that I should get out and exercise more and trim up. I joked with him that it would be ironic that if one day I'm the thin one and he's the one who gains weight. At the time he had the fastes metabolism of anyone I knew and was as thin as a rail and could pack away more than everyone else at the table and still be hungry. Hell the guy would even loose weight in his sleep!

Well shortly before his wedding this prophecy started to come true. He was developing a Budda. I would ask if I could rub the Budda for good luck. He didn't like that very much.

i hate that. usually they poke me and then do the hee hee themselves. i have come to own my chubbiness. I think that i wouldn't be as cute if I were skinny.

They used to call me "poppin fresh Chlo"
as in "hee hee! Popping fresh dough."

that is messed up. almost as messed up as this one girl they used to call oatmeal because she was brown and lumpy

yes, for a short stint
that and teasing me for my name will instaigate violence

hasnt happened in a long while <knocks on wood... with a mace>

yeah, i spent a good portion of my childhood as "flabby abbey", so i know what you mean. it used to embarass me, but now i find strength in it. this is how i am, and always will be, so fuck it! they can poke me in the belly and do the doughboy all they want (and yes, that's happened to me too... sigh...), but they can't take my strength away from me anymore. former fatkids unite!! :-)
