You should never have admitted that. We thought we were missing your jokes becuase they were so far over our non-Scholarly heads. I'm quite sure that you weren't a Merit Scholar because you were the one creating the tests. DOn't bother to deny it.
WHo else could come up with those weird analogical (analogous?) vocabulary tricks? Kids go into cold sweats thinking about those.
And speaking of nightmares, here is last night's dream. I must have the strangest dreams in the world.
The doorbell rang and it was an old boyfriend from college years. Except he was now 7 1/2 feet tall. I looked up and said, Oh Hi! How are you! ANd he started singing to me-in German. My mother, who despite being dead appears frequently in my dreams, came into the room and said, penni! You're so rude! Offer him something to eat.
I said. Mother, please. All I have are those anchovy tarts.
Then a high school friend came in--she's now a pharmacist-- and I said, Oh Phyllis, good, I needed to ask you about antibiotics. ANd she said,
It's all true. I was going to live in Maine but then they would know that I know what they're trying to do, so I have to stay here.
ANd I said, Ahhhhh-I thought so. |
