  It was usually me. The teachers said I was a very responsible kid. Responsible for disasters…

Ha! Starts with a P..right. As a lower school teacher in my second career path, I grew to appreciate how savy and in tune my students were. They were often not given enough credit…little people are so smart and ready for learning.

  And very logical in their own way. I figured out that fraud Santa Clause very early. Having sat on his lap at the department store I noticed he had white bandage tape to make the beard and mustache stay on. That and a hint of whiskey(I don’t blame him) gave it all away.

  Thanks. One of my earliest cartoons and it still gives me the giggles. In the 6th grade the teacher brought in a bunch of post cards and told me to post them. What did that mean ? So I brought them to the office and put them all in the big mail box. Post them, right? She meant tack them all on the bulletin board. Well lemme tell ya…..

Nicely captured. Reminds me of failing to explain myself to a group of grade 4 students till one student brought total clarity in one short sentence.

  Kids can be sharp that way. In 33 years of teaching teens I was impressed that they really had a well defined sense of right and wrong and fairness. Maybe they should govern our world.

  I had the lead in the 3rd grade play, the Pied Piper. That was the first and last theatrical effort. Ya know, too many rats in Hollywood.
