true story

Student: Ms. Taylor-Montieth, what happens if I bomb this spelling test?

Me: Then you will not receive a passing grade... (the smartest answer I could think of)

Student: Will I get a F?

Me: If you do not pass, then yes you will receive an F

Student: Does that mean I will fail?

oh my. sometimes this job is just too funny for words.

please dont apologize for not knowing. i wouldnt have expected you to.
i couldnt even tell mara. it was just too hard.
but it's over. for now. and even though it hurts like hell, i know from Our past experiences, that eventually time makes it hurt less. (although i still say its bullshit that time heals all wounds).
i got two or three texts from you on my birthday, but not if you've sent any since then? thank you for thinking of me. i'll make sure to email you my number. its the OLD one, since i have your razor now. (thanks again by the way)
anyways, i would love to see you soon. it would be good for me to be around my sisters.
i love you very much.
xo's to the babies.
