Snippets

At a wedding "celebration" a couple of weekends ago, we were leaving as the newlyweds arrived. We had waited an hour and a half on the happy couple and had to leave to get some real food, of which the party had NONE. The bride asked the LMGC to help fasten part of her dress before she entered the party. When recounting the story later the LMGC said, "I didn't mind helping, but who did I look like? Bob Mackie?"

Mary Gauthier's Saturday show at the Cat's Cradle was amazing. She gave the crowd an opportunity to yell out requests, and of course, someone hollered "Freebird". The crowd laughed. Mary got a kick out of it and added "If I'da wrote that, I wouldn't be up here in front of y'all....I'd be in some big ass house with servants putting strawberries in my mouth!"

My principal observed in a first grade class last week when the students were trying to use as many of their phonics words as possible in a sentence. Two of the words were "hit" and "bat". One first grader's contribution was "My mom hit Bigfoot with a bat in the penis." Phonics words AND extensive vocabulary - impressive.
