It’s amazing how an abstract thought or moment leads to a website entry. Through a random set of thoughts and connections, I found myself thinking back on a teacher in elementary school. and our own little “Abbott and Costello moment”. I had been working on a theme paper of some sorts, and I approached her desk to join about two or three other kids also seeking guidance.
Without too much exaggeration, the exchange went something like this:
ME: How do you spell “island”?
HER: “is land”.
ME: Yes but how do you spell it?
HER: “IS LAND”.
ME: [getting frustrated] I know it’s LAND but how do you spell it?
HER: [also getting frustrated] “IS LAND“!
ME:
HER: “I.. S… L… A… N… D”
