Teacher: Now, children---Bring me your compositions. Nancy--How DARE you? ---This paper is BLANK. What Mark do you think I should give you for this?
Nancy: How about 100 per cent for neatness?
My 6th grade teacher had to be the most anal, obsessive-compulsive teacher I ever had. Especially in weird pronunciations of words we all forgot as soon as school was out. Like passionately emphasizing the ‘l’ in salmon, the second ‘r’ in Feb-ROO-ary, the proper pronunciation of ‘slippery": ’not slip-per-ree, but slip-per-ih’ …… ‘Pic-tyoor’, not ‘pick-cher’ and so forth. Bus-IH-nuss, Eve-EN-ing, Di-UH-per. Get it?
