When I moved, I had (no kidding) six underbed boxes of coffee mugs with only 8 with broken grips. I kept a total of six favorites, and the unbroken rest went to Goodwill. They were, to say the least, impressed to add them to their collection of a couple of hundred. At least mine were unique, and the next week I went back, only a dozen of mine remained. Happy the money went to a good cause, and I got a tax deduction.

Med school? Really? Most boys learn what snot looks like in Pre-K.

No, unable to hurt either his basketball Buddy, or his Training Partner, Frazz will instead ask Mrs. Olsen to be his “Best Man”!

She is definitely “old school,” referring to herself as “Mrs. Olsen.” Usually one would use their first name at the doctor’s office. Maybe Mr. Mallett realized that he’d never created a first name for her. Either he didn’t want to break the spell, or he couldn’t decide what first name would be most fitting.

I feel like this “make Olsen feel good” summer theme is dialed up a little bit too much. Wouldn’t you feel patronized at this point, if you were her?

And she is quite capable of infer a complete chain of reasoning, thank you very much.I find this whole story added a couple layers of complexity to Ms Olsen’ s profile.
