Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for May 24, 2011

Nice going, Nerwin.

I bet the 1st grade teacher is happy.

^ from having to clean up after Nerwin’s shedding.

But how long has he been in 1st grade?

Felt the same when the Draft Office put me on the Marine Corps bus.

Johanan, Wiley describes Grog as prehistoric man (yes I’ve been reading up on my classic B.C.). Hart calls him the caveman’s caveman.

Though he’s as hairy as a troll, he’s no relation (current or distant) to Irwin & Nerwin.

EIGHTh grade. that is the ultimate goal. no one has the swagger or the self assurance of an eighth grader , finally at the top of the heap……..until next year

Every Spring they tell him he’s being promoted to Grade Two. Ever Fall he’s back in Grade One. Lucky he has such a short memory! (Kindergarten was best. I miss nap time!!)

Only took 30 years

That’s right, Nerwin — you’re going to the grade where spitballs are big things you throw, not little things you shoot through a straw!

Nerwin really is not going to graduate? how sad.

He should be gradeful.
