What Did You Do At Recess? First grade class comes in from recess. Teacher asks Alice: “What did you do at recess?”
Alice says, “I played in the sand box.”
Teacher says “That’s good. Go to the blackboard, and if you can write ‘sand’ correctly, I’ll give you a fresh-baked cookie.”
Alice does and gets a cookie.
Teacher asks Billy what he did at recess.
Billy says, “I played with Alice in sand box.”
Teacher says, “Good. If you write ‘Box” correctly on blackboard, I’ll give you a fresh baked cookie.”
Billy does, and gets a cookie, too.
Teacher then asks Mustaffa Abdul Machmoud what he did at recess.
He says, “I tried to play with Alice and Billy, but they threw rocks at me.”
Teacher says, “They threw rocks at you? That sounds like blatant racial discrimination! Go to the blackboard and if you write ‘blatant racial discrimination’correctly I’ll give you a cookie.”
There was a voice mail message from Noah on my phone this morning. He said they had a hotel room in Tulsa, Oklahoma and they hoped to get an early start this morning. Tracey had said Springfield, Missouri ... so I don’t know what that was about? Anyway, if they left Tulsa this morning, they have about 1,050 miles to go in two days which shouldn’t be too difficult. We will keep you posted.

Noah just called from Amarillo, Texas. They just ate and are going back on the road again for another four hours or so. They want to get to Albuquerque, New Mexico before stopping for the day.
Tracey just got home from the DMV ... she has a motorcycle license now! She is restricted to a 3 wheeler, but that is what she has so no problem. I’ll have to get another picture of her on her scooter with her new hard hat.
