And speaking of Miss Forsythe (see yesterday's blogpost) brings to mind the way in which kids at Claflin (Elementary) School responded to taunts from their classmates, insults which were always only a moment away . . . One such example follows.
When a kid heard the words, "You're a jerk!" . . . her answer, accompanied by a grin, would be as follows:
"A jerk is a pull, a pull is a yank, and a Yank is a good American!"
But an easier reply would have been, (and often was), "It takes one to know one!"
