He’s like an old penny; or a bad dream, I can’t decide. (Rhymes with Rank.

 


I saw Frank today at outdoor recess.  He was laying on one of the benches with his arms sticking straight out and stiff as a board. 




He was pretending to be his grandmother.    She’s dead.






I don’t know why I even bothered to ask.

    I just wish we could all know now, what Frank will end up being when he is an adult.

    I think he is going to grow up to be a principal. I don't know if I have told you that Lurch is a retired principal too. He was asked to come back to his hometown several years ago and give the commencement address because he still held the record for the largest number of swats (pops, licks, hits) with a paddle when he was in school. Yep, Frank may be your boss one day. That is a happy thought, isn't it? Best of the new year to you, my friend!

    Oh Frank, you are just the most interesting kid! Pity you couldn't have kept him!

    With every Frank story, I am pretty much guaranteed that I will have to laugh outloud, while shaking my head over his antics.

    Sounds perfectly reasonable to me! That kid will go places one day. As long as no one takes his fire from him!!

    I would have guess he was playing "airplane." This kid must be from the Existentialist side of the kindergarten spectrum. A ringer for John Paul Satre.

    Glacier is not the only case on the market that is transparent, of course; its most-intriguing feature is the self-healing coating, that Innerexile says is patented.
