I Peel My Citrus Neurotically

I don't know how I managed to make friends in first grade.
I'm convinced it had something to do
with a teachers scientifically assigned seating chart
rather than a sudden interest in social skills.
Most kids made friends at snack time,
but who wants to trade doubled stuffed anything
in exchange for apple sauce?
Friendships were based on a mother's grocery list
and a child's knack at bargaining.
My friendships were all accidents.
