Eleni is my daughter and, more notably, she is my mother’s granddaughter. Here’s how you can tell: The other day she said, “Jason’s face just lit up when he saw the fire.” (Yes, Virginia: chickens do have pecking orders and crows have their nests.)
My students, too, provided me with food for thought this week.
“Duck is an animal that has a long mouse.”
“A aunt is a small black insect that bite.”
“A panda is a kind of bear that has black eyeshadow around its eyes.”
“A professor is someone who knows everything that you want to know.”
I certainly AM a small black insect that bite! Didn’t you know that already? What kind of a professor ARE you if you don’t know such basic things as this?
