Lightness #1 I learned not to say clay balls, thanks to the constant
giggling from fourth graders.
Lightnesss #2 A volunteer at school offered to type my exhibit labels one
year. I was not as diligent proofreading the info other than the child's
name. A child's work was up on display in our big community exhibit with
the label stating he was in Kinderfarten! Lucky for me the Mother thought
it was hilarious-told me it fit her kid to a "T."
Lightness #3 Many years ago I had the "honor" of teaching Larry Flynt's
(Hustler Magazine Publisher) nephews and their vocabulary had a definite
"color" to it. When little Jimmy Flynt was in Kindergarten, he got really
excited about some lesson I was introducing and blurted out, "Oh
psych-ness!" Cracked me up.
