Should have thought of teleportation for my third grade teacher... only I might of left her wherever I sent her.
Then again I ran away to a place where Irish musicians come to track down original versions of Irish songs and French French language scholars come to learn the meaning of obsolete words... many a drunken night listening to the Irish Rovers before they made it upalong in TO.
Sounds much nicer than mine, forced to sit in front - yardstick slammed on my desk if I appeared to drift off or stimming (shaking my leg) so I figured out how to crack my toes in my shoes - she didn't figure that one out) then was sent to a tutor for a bogus reason (writing a book report on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in Chaucer's style)(the tutor figured out that I had dyslexia, her advice was read, read, read all kinds of different things to increase my vocabulary so I could make better guesses of words, develop automatically to ask did that sentence make sense and to read at grade level for school). I decided to only do enough to pass each grade after that, in Junior High I fooled up and got an A in History and flunked English (I still don't get the parts of a sentence).
My teacher was upset that I didn’t have calluses on my fingers from writing. She thought I wasn’t writing enough. Although it was just the weird way I held my pencil. Grammar was never my thing. I still am pretty ignorant of it.
I know what my dog thinks you get to know what to expect from each other it's like a great marriage even if do or don't have great marriage, look to your dog.🐶🤣😂
That age when you *think* you are learning to understand adults, and you know you're supposed to be helpful, and things went well after Mom said, "I wish that annoying cat would just go away!", so...

My third grade teacher was "unique" also. She didn't teach us math or science. Only English. I wrote a lot of stories in her class. 😂
I remember watching the Irish Rovers on the Canadian television channel when I was a kid in Michigan.

Dogs are loyal friends. For sure. 🤓
Haha! I often wonder what my dog is thinking. I’d love it if we could converse. Thanks for the smiles, Mark. 🐶
I would be interesting (to say the least!) if animals could talk. 🤓
Thanks, Justin.
Loved these, especially ‘Dear Miss McCormick’ 😊
Thank you.
Thank you, Janette. I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. 🤓

🤣 You have to be completely literal with a child like that.
Thanks, Jack.
"I only let you fall to 5,000 feet...."
“But it’s raining.” “You better hurry, then.”
"By the way ... I noticed your car is looking a little dirty.”
Three prize-winning stories, Mark! Only I wish Shem would have picked up the unicorns and left the spiders behind...
Thanks, Sharron.
I have to agree about the spiders. I would have a lot less bug killing to do. 🤣
It was the legendary Shel Silverstein who wrote "The Unicorn", but the Rovers made it a hit.
Thanks for the info, David. I remember watching The Irish Rovers on the Canadian station when I was kid living in Michigan. That song is a classic.
“What I did was wrong. I’m sorry. Would you like an apple?”
😂
I’m going to start upping Henrietta’s skill sets!!!
Thanks, 3. Teleportation is a handy skill. 😂
At my age, teleportation is the only way I could get back to Italy, Scotland, Belgium.... sigh. Thank goodness I have a vivid memory.
Wouldn't that be great? No long airplane rides, or long drives, or...
