My Motto
My motto this week is, “026626263+”
I defy you to comprehend it.
Can’t Wait for the Third Time
Actual verbatim report (unedited and unabridged) that a sixth grader wrote documenting his misbehavior after he was sent to the office for stealing:
“The first time I stole her candy, I gave it back. The second time I stole her candy, I ate it.”
Who’s This “Spot” Character?
I went to see Boston Ballet perform “Romeo and Juliet.” Beside me sat a father taking his daughter to the show.
Guy: “What’s this story about?”
Daughter: “I don’t know.”
This doesn’t bode well for society. I could see if it were some obscure ballet you have to see to understand, but surely at some point in your education somebody mentioned “Romeo and Juliet” once, neh?
