Did anyone else read that as a rap and hear a beat box in their head while reading?!?!?! Ironically, I've never even read a Calvin and Hobbes comic! I just asked DD if she read one in school, she says no. I guess, why read it, when apparantly we live it! Val if you haven't joined OGTOC, I encourage you to and share your rap poem. It's just TOO good not to share. We all need our spirits lifted from time to time, your poem does the trick and I hope you took some joy from writing that! Thanks all! I had a lot of fun writing it, and I was trying to make it sound rap-y (rappy?). I was counting syllables to try to equalize them between lines (didn't always succeed...). Re: Calvin and Hobbes. Have I ever mentioned that I took a personality test 15 years ago, and that Calvin was in the group of people who shared my personality traits? I was extremely chuffed with that result! I haven't joined OGTOC, but will check it out this weekend. Val

I remember the first day of his 3rd gr. His teacher called, angry, saying he was found on the playground with a screwdriver, a "weapon" she called it. He'd said he was an" archaeologist and was doing a dig." She scolded him heatedly. Her personality proved fascist-like and it was not a happy year for him. Very much like Mrs. Danvers in "Rebecca" for all you old movie buffs. Yep, sometimes we have to laugh.

I need to learn how you do it Yes, C&H is a big favorite for Dh and I along with FoxTrot. We have avoided sharing these with DS. Current behaviors is bad enough, we don't need to add in reanactments of the comics I live in dread of the day he discovers them for himself lol
