"Where Grandmother Lives"
When I stopped the bus to pick up Chris for
preschool, I noticed an older woman
hugging him as he left the house.
"Is that your grandmother?" I asked.
"Yes," Chris said. "She's come to visit us for
the holidays."
"How nice," I said. "Where does she live?"
"At the airport," Chris replied. "Whenever we want
her we just go out there and get her."

"Would You Be Scared?"
I was trying to get my seventh-grade history
class to understand how the Indians must have
felt when they first encountered the Spanish
explorers.
"How would you feel," I asked, "if someone
showed up on your doorstep who looked very
different, spoke a strange language and wore
unusual clothes? Wouldn't you be a bit scared?"
"Nah," one boy answered, "I'd just figure it was
my sister's date."
