They were required to show up in professional dress. I will always chuckle at the professor who said how nice it was to see them dressed so nicely, as she expected she'd see them all in pjs (or scrubs) starting the next day.

She sent it back. She wanted to continue going to the laundromat to do wash - where she could visit/gossip with her friends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Katy said: Not about a 3yo but people in our hs group used to tell me that ds, who has raging ADHD just needed more exercise. Get him to run outdoors. Put him to work in the yard. Tire him out. Those people have no idea what that does to a kid with hyperactive/impulsive type ADHD. I always wanted to say "Take him for a week and try it. Then come back and talk to me." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we asked about the day, she said her favorite thing was the paper towel dispenser! (It was right next to the manta ray petting pool and thus at the perfect height for her.)

purpleowl Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I think it loses something if you take away the formatting for the poem (which I agree is one of the most famous!). Sorry for larger text, but here's a c&p from poetryfoundation.org: This Is Just To Say BY WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
