Step on no pets. Not only my favorite palindrome, but my personal motto for home safety, since the cats always seem to be underfoot in the hall and stairwells, and one of them blends into the orange-and-brown carpet scarily well in dim light. It seems I say this aloud at least 3-4 times a week. ---

I taught my niece what a palindrome is when she was in the first grade. She ran around saying “poop” all night, so I told her that it was a palindrome, and explained what that meant. A couple of weeks later, they were spelling body parts in class, and she told her teacher, “HEY! ‘Eye’ is a palindrome!” Her rather astonished teacher asked her where she’d learned such a big word. I was impressed that she’d actually remembered it. ---
