I was just looking over the author bio for the very boring story I am trying to incorporate into my graph lesson (it's the story the kids are assigned that week), and learned a)the author wrote this story when she was 82 and b)her other books include How Do Birds Find Their Way? and Let's Go Rock Collecting.


LET'S GO ROCK COLLECTING.

I have found this extremely funny for about 5 or 10 minutes now. Maybe I'm alone in the hilarity, I don't know. But next time I'm sitting through someone's rote teaching, I've got a new in-joke with myself. It's the little things, buddy, that get me through.
