That is what I thought when I hung up the phone with a local Holocaust survivor who is coming to speak to my reading classes next week. Then I thought that was a pretty irreverent way to think about someone who's been through something so horrible.
But when I told one of my classes today, one of my girls said, "Score!" so I excused my own self. Then I thought, should I have the same thoughts as fourteen-year-olds?
So now I don't know what to think.
Ms. Mei Flower
- Mei
- I'm a spinster schoolmarm with a degree in English; I watch artsy movies about British people; I knit while watching the History Channel; I listen to NPR in the car; I eat frozen dinners on the couch. Is that stereotypical enough for you? No? Well, then ... and I have a cat.

when you start finding yourself using idioms that you personally hate with a passion... then you should be worried. Like, random. As in, "Wow, Ms Flower, that was so random." I hate the phrase== and yet, I find it creeping into my speech all the time.
Ha ha, I love the word random and use it all the time!
