As a kindergarten teacher, I work with students of different reading abilities. One day, I was helping a student who was struggling to learn the letter sounds. I used flash cards with letters and pictures to help. I showed him the letters and a picture of a snake to call attention to the sound. Sss, snake. Next came the letter c. He couldn’t remember the sound, so I showed him a picture of a cat. When I asked him to tell me the sound of c, he looked puzzled and said, “Meow?”

PIANO WOMAN

When I saved a piano from an old house, I had not considered that I would need assistance moving it from the back of my pickup truck into my home. Finally, I had to drive around with it for several days. One day, a police officer pulled me over. He had seen me before and asked why I was driving around with a piano in my truck bed. I told him that my car radio had broken and I couldn’t afford a new one. He laughed—and he let me go without a ticket.

SEE DAD RUN

Like most dads, I imagine, I’d always assumed that my three-year-old son looked up to me as a superhero.

Once we were safely aboard, I noticed that my son was staring at me with his big blue eyes. “What’s the matter?” I asked him, still out of breath. He whispered, “Daddy, I didn’t know you could run.”

To my surprise, she said, “I would go into the kitchen and eat anything I want.”
