Then, there was home ec class, in middle school. One of the bullies, Chris Baker, was known as a whiner, and the one day, complained to the teacher: “Mrs. Weaver, Jaymee hit me with her cane!” ‘It was an accident, mind you.’ “I’m sure you deserved it,” was the reply. It’s one of Tiffany’s favorite stories to tell, as it was one of the few classes we actually shared.

I was teased relentlessly in public school, and would often take my aggression out on my fellow students. Trouble was, as I couldn’t see, I had no idea when the teacher was looking, and so got caught every time.

There was the times when Tiffany would run down the hall, closing the top lockers so I wouldn’t slam into them. As soon as she’d pass, those mean kids would open them wide again, then laugh their heads off as I slammed into them.

That then led to a discussion of how much wilder middle schoolers are than high schoolers, though one really couldn’t tell in my school as both junior and senior high were in the same building. It was: elementary, grades 1-6; middle school and high school, 7-12. Anyway, Mom told of when Elysha was in sixth grade, and Edward in seventh; the middle school was closed four times that year due to bomb threats. =-Once, there was the threat of a shooter, so the kids had to hide under their desks. Another time, the students were sent to the Y as it was close to the school

11/25 DISCRIMINATION
=======
Edward was talking about how some of the children in his neighborhood were told by their parents not to talk or play with him “because you’re black.: ‘”Hello? What decade is this?”’ Most of the children play with him anyway, but it’s disturbing to think that racism and discrimination are still such big problems in this day and age. ‘And that doesn’t even touch on the racial factor in my stories!’

PHONE CALL
=======
After my bath, I got a call from Georgette saying she was coming around 12:30 or so. She got me some Gold Bond lotion at Wal-Mart Wednesday, so I owe her more than the amount she owed me from the dinner Saturday. She got me a big pump and a smaller tube; a free sample of body wash came with the tube.

FIRST MOVIE
=======
After Georgette left, around 2:45, I turned on LMN. There was no way I’d have watched any of “Bastard out of Carolina” with her still in the apartment, even though by the time she left I’d already missed more than half an hour. ‘Besides, I wasn’t really listening to it; it was just background while I stretched some more.

PLUMBING
=======
Mom still has plumbing issues. The toilet’s wobbly, but at least it doesn’t leak—anymore. ‘No wonder why we had trouble with it overflowing! Edward, when he lived there, would flush down food, deodorant bottles, and who knows what else down the commode as if it were a trash can. Something he didn’t want his father to see in the trash? That’s what the toilet’s for!’ Sort of reminds me of that notice Sue circulated that said, “ Don’t flush anything other than paper down the toilet!” ‘As Mom said, “If you wanted to take that literally—“’

Yeah--what *are* you supposed to do with your turds?

STEPHANIE
=======
Yesterday Mom told Grandma, Michael, Michelle and I that Stephanie’s doing well with her treatments. “She had three this week and four last week.” And she did so well doctors let her have Black Friday off; so it resumes Monday.

It breaks my heart to see this.

THE PRIZE

Mom and Michael came to use my bathroom: “You get the prize because your plumbing’s better.”

Yay, me.

While Michael did his business, Mom put the food she’d brought over in the fridge—three containers of leftovers, two of ambrosia, a Cool Whip container of pumpkin pie and two of cranberry stuff. She then gott Ethan out for a bit. “I have to ambush him, but once he’s out he’s fine.” ‘It makes no sense: he wants to come out, and yet he doesn’t.’ Mom held him for a while, then the bird went over to Michael. Ethan started singing, something which used to be rare indeed once he was out. And everything was fine until my uncle wanted him to transfer onto another hand or finger. ‘He didn’t bite or anything, but he did squawk to show his displeasure.’ “Step off,” Mom exclaimed, laughing as she added, “you just met; there’s no cause for you to be rubbing up against his breast!””Well, you never know,” was Michael’s response.

Maintenance mix-up?
Royce was up earlier. I didn't let him in because I didn't know what he needed. Seems he forgot he fixed my towel rack--and that my outlet cover's still busted. He was saying something about "during the inspection". Sometimes, I can't understand that man (nor do I know what to do with him).

WORD OF THE DAY:
HENCEFORTH
Mom and I were talking when she suddenly slipped this word into a sentence. "That's your word of the day," she said laughing, "say that in a sentence three times."
WHO SAYS THAT? HENCEFORTH?I mean, in this day and age?

A Good Friend
Mom's on her way to see Philip, who has a nonstop cough. I told her I hope he feels better, and that she's a good friend for taking him to the doctor. "That's the kind of compassionate thing that you do and I love you for it." She jokingly told me to stop it because I was getting her misty, but she really appreciated the heartfelt sentiment.

Try to silence me, o world,
And I will shout even louder;
I cannot be silenced,
For to allow it
Would be a serious disservice.

You tell me that I am too young,
And that I do not know;
That I should not speak on
Issues I know naught about:
But, how can I be uninformed
When all are entitled to an opinion?
