Me, too, please

Edith and I were talking about her day.

"What did you do on the playground?" I asked.

"I played with Serenity and Faith," she said.

If only we all could say that at day's end.

Alas, I resumed teaching today after a four-month hiatus, with Ryan, Jackson, Whitney, Clementine, and 15 others--Jitters, Nerves, and Trepidation surely among them.

I'll aim to take a few lessons from the first-grade playbook.
