Getting Dumped It happens to the best of us. But although I've been ditched, I'm not quite your conventional dumpee. You see, the man who kicked me to the curb, did it not to get rid of his girlfriend, but to keep his chick. He was my best friend. And she didn't like that. It only took her three years to decide! So with a text, with less characters than a tweet, he had flown from our friendship nest.
