@ClareMalone My problem is not with the fact that he, and others, embellish jokes. My problem is that he carefully crafted stories tied to current events and insisted in interviews that they were true…until he confirmed to Malone that they weren’t.
@NickKristof@nytopinion I actually read these in an illuminating college class that also had us read “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” So interesting to read the bestsellers that shaped our collective thinking!
@inclusionchick The year we had our middle daughter in intensive 5-days-a-week therapy, a mom friend brought over weekly dinners for a year…..we hardly deserve these friends, right?
Yesterday, a 16-year-old student spilled Cocoa Puffs cereal on the floor. When I told him to pick it up, he said, “The custodian will do it.” The custodian is a combat vet with a limp. Let’s do better. Every kid should learn to clean up their own mess.
