Without hyperbole and the like, we would have something like this:<br /><br />"I liked a guy in my class. I thought he was mature. He asked me out. He showed up early and high and banged on the door. We were surprised. My mom told him to come back later. He kept banging on the door and said crazy things. My dad got mad and yelled at him. He ran away. The end."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-30075797433059460362011-09-26T20:02:30.011-04:002011-09-26T20:02:30.011-04:00I get hyperbole.
