Re-hab Witch reminds of my 3rd grade teacher, Miss Wringer(washer). She insisted we wash our 24 times a day. If you wanted out of a math class all you said was “my hands are sticky” And she said “go, and do it properly” I never learned my multification tables that year. Some one did it everyday. Meanwhile, Lil Dirty hands had caused a new lecture on…you guessed it… Cleanliness and maintaining it. She took my chair away 'cause I didn’t stay in it. I dealt with it for a coupla weeks. Til Daddy finished it. He told her how the cow eats cabbage. Turned out to be a fine year at school: Miss Wringer, and then my first art class, and I punched Stanley on the playground. When the teachers came to see the problem I was sent directly to the Principals office. Miss Wringer caught up with me, I thought because they were afraid I was gonna punch someone else. Nope, she said: “Let’s wash our hands first” Gah!! This is why, explains it all, I’m phobic about germ’s. Miss Hildegard is single minded as well: “faster, stand up straight, don’t drag your heels!!” Now, how do I create my own ‘math class evader’? Gotta be a way. ---

Dear Word Detective: Over the years I have used the phrase "I told him how the cow ate the cabbage!" which I picked up somewhere. Now an Aussie friend wants to know what it means.

I saw a lady with a walker at kroger. She had it three feet in front of her and was leaning as far forward as possible. Hanging on! I watched her shuffle her feet all the way into the store. Shoving that rolling walker all the way. Somewhere a physical therapist is quietly whimpering in a corner. 😉 ---
