"Reichel is Black woman."
Note to self: Wear more colorful clothing next week. The Accidental Goth look is leading to awkward comments.

Two more gems of the week:
1) I am pimped out to the nursery school when my junior high kids have testing days. Today the local elderlies were also there for a Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival) party. If the thought of naps, mochi, and drooling toddlers doesn't appeal to you, then this should melt any heart, 2 sizes too small or otherwise: kids in hats, grandparents in cellophane.

2) Junior high student one: "A-Lu-To... what does ALT mean?"
Omniscient student two, with a scoff: "Allen Lachel Teacher." (Duh.)
Classmates: "Ahhhh! Wakatta! Sugei!"

I shouldn't have corrected them. I am all that is ALT. Bow before me.

So wrong it's right. And then wrong. And then wrong again... welcome to the inaka.

About Me: “No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this - 'devoted and obedient'. This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.” (Florence Nightingale)
