“We favor giving cats saints’ names. (Martin, Jean-Marie, Dominic)”
LOL, I had to respond to this post.
My third grade teacher Sr. Corona surely would not approve of you!
She thought that giving animals saint’s names was NOT TO BE DONE.
Of course she actually mentioned this once, which is why I remember it. She recommended “Battleship” as a name for a dog, and it might be a good name for a dog, a rather fierce dog which would be the only kind of dog the rather fierce Sr. Corona would ever have.
Here’s my other great story about her: as I say she was my teacher in 3rd grade and part of our math course for that year was going to be about money. How many dimes in a dollar, pennies in a nickel, making change, etc.
Well, Sister said that she had noticed this was the next lesson and that she intended to skip over it because she was quite sure we all knew this stuff cold already. As I recall she said: An immigrant will come to America and he will say I no speak-a-da-English....but don’t try to short change him, because he’ll be wise to that immediately.
Of course she was right, we did know all about money but we were hoping she was bluffing because of course that part was going to be easy.
Well, shortly enough we got up to that chapter and she said, OK, like I said: skip that and it’s on to chapter 4.
She made a strong impression on me. I’m sure she’s gone to her reward and I certainly hope she’s found no slackers in Heaven, because she just wouldn’t put up with it.
Excuse the ramble!
