Chapter 25: "It's Where I Keep My Brains"

Well, my computer and internet are FINALLY working. There has been a lot of pain and heartache and deleted programs which I shall dearly miss....But I shall recover, I think.

There's not a whole lot that's gone on on the school front. Same old, same old. I have a wretched cough, but the doctor seems to think that it's just allergies and it'll go away. Meanwhile I think I'm frightening the students. I've got the black lung, Pop.

Today one of my students, probably about 11-12 years old, told me I had a big head. Not really out of the mouths of babes, but there's no use being offended. I told the class that it was because I was really smart. Then I looked pointedly at the boy and said, "You have a very small head."

It's fun to toy with students who aren't very good with English. They can tell you just insulted them, but they're not quite sure how....
