In Which I Receive an Invitation of Sorts

Him: If we go on another field trip, I want you to come.

Me: Aww. . . [sniff, sniff]_I would love to come.

Him: Yeah, 'cause then you could bring my DS Lite in your purse like K's mom did.

Danette Haworth said...: Not to be confused with Bud Lite, but somehow equally as addictive, DS Lite is Nintendo DS Lite, the latest (at this moment) in hand-held game systems. My favorite game? Mario Kart.; May 2, 2008 at 1:36 PM

Since when did you attend field trips with my children? :-)

My youngest doesn't even want me in his classroom though. Says I embarrass him. Says I look at him too much. Geesh!; May 3, 2008 at 10:11 AM

Mary Witzl said...: Yay -- my kids don't have DS lites or I'd be carrying them all the time.

I came back from a school excursion once with half-eaten sandwiches, potato chip packets and dead chewing gum in my pockets. I am a carrier of superfluous sweaters and a receptacle for all manner of trash...; May 6, 2008 at 5:28 PM

Thoughts on Writing

"If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I'd type a little faster." --Isaac Asimov

"It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up, because by that time I was too famous." --Robert Benchley

"When writers meet, they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B's. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B; if yes, then all is well." --Cyril Connolly

"Yes, it's hard to write, but it's harder not to." --Carl Van Doren

"Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." --Gene Fowler

"I always write a good first line, but I have trouble writing the others." --MoliFre

"What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window." --Burton Rascoe

"Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else." --Gloria Steinem

"I love being a writer; what I can't stand is the paperwork." --Peter De Vries

"This morning I took out a comma and this afternoon I put it back in again." --Oscar Wilde

"I will tell you a story." --Jesus (Matthew 21:28, CEV)
