Peter grading papers

  • Peter:
  • "children's literature is defined as a writing for children that is instructional, without violent, filthy, or sexual content"
  • is the opening sentence
  • all my notes are like "is obedient always a good thing???"
  • "do all parents really love their children at all times???"
  • "what about foster children???"

Reporting on dinner with my parents

  • Peter: they told us all about their trip to sweden when they were young and crazy
  • me: really!? what about it? (also, did they seem in love?)
  • Peter: yes
  • Peter: as always
  • Peter: like two little robins in their love nest
  • Peter: showing us their robin feathers and sharing their robin love stories
