Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 18, 2011

I think Alice has her own ideas on How To Fall Down.

So, Timmy, are you saying Alice is not as good a teacher of falling down as you are? Pre-school is being rapidly depleted of potential volunteers….

Alice will end up voiunteered because everyone else will fall flat on their faces.

Well, they say any SPLAT you can walk away from is a…Wait, Alice how does that go again?

Why doesn’t someone volunteer Alice?

I actually want to teach my grand-niece how to fall. I’m an expert, from my youthful skateboarding days. I want to give her a little confidence (she’s 7); she can’t / won’t even do a somersault.

I bet that man could watch Alice systematically shove the entire class and still ask for another volunteer.

Timmy Fretwork doesn’t stand a chance against Alice.

Who’s telling Alice to “STOP IT!”?

Alice quit it!

Bad Alice! Stop shoving your classmates and just volunteer for yourself! Even queens need to know how to fall down

the 2 on her right must have hi-tailed it out of there!

I’ve been over 6 feet tall since 7th grade. Falling down is not an option. Too far to go and too bony on the knees and elbows.

Soon the whole class will be volunteered by Alice.

i think dill fell in just the perfect way…
