We would draw a big fish and try to place it in the victim’s back without their knowing it, like your teacher or your dad. You could buy big chocolate fish in the candy shops to for eating. I don’t know if they still do that. Today was so depressing.

Even as a little girl, I bristled, thinking I did not want to be a part of any flock and would much rather be a goat (alone on a craggy hill) doomed to destruction by not following the shepherd. <br /><br Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294026230680025155.post-5242401886482201092010-04-01T16:10:48.291+01:002010-04-01T16:10:48.291+01:00Primroses are some of my favourites.
