I appreciate the herb you brought for me


I have not been able to guess. Do they like Kraft dinner?

It's just my job five days a week


At my daughter's preschool, all of the teachers have mini-biographies of themselves posted on the hallway walls.

They're little games of 20 Questions — favorite season, hobbies, family interests, etc.

And my daughter's teacher says she is "best described" by this song: "Rocket Man" by Elton John.

I haven't thought about this much all school year. But today I asked myself, what is best described by "Rocket Man?" And do we really want it teaching five-year-olds?
