I hope her mother wore her buttocks out over that episode. I have a pretty funny experience with kindergartners as a substitute teacher. Nice job.

    I doubt it. The children were in charge over there.

Oh I adore this exchange. What a bratty kid. Probably rather embarrassing for the mother. You should have stabbed that Butterball bastard with your stilletos. (I bet MY land speed record still stands from when I was chased by a goanna.)
Favourite bits: "with antagonistic zeal"
"Really," said I, meeting her defiant gaze with a steely one of my own.
"And I also hate you," she added with the wickedest of smiles.
Charming. So well portrayed.
I like thinking of you as a dog. What type would you be?

    I'd like to think of myself as an Afghan -tall, glamorous, sophisticated. But then, the reason I'm a writer is for my vivid imagination. So what I'd probably REALLY be is a mutant poodle (mutant because I'd be the only redhaired one.) I'm kind of high-strung and never know when to be quiet...

    How about you, LisaMay? What breed of dog would you be?

    No, don't be an afghan, they are complete airheads. Yes to a poodle though... I thought THEY were airheads till I met one for a few days and was completely captivated by it's intelligence and nature.
    As for me, I am the smelly bitzer dog-pound mutt rolling in a dead seal, then rubbing up against you, slobbering!

    Well, you can certainly see why I'm so glad we're friends, then!!!
