Around the dusty blackboard…What is love?
1. ‘When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.’ Billy - age 4, wow
2. ‘Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.’ Karl - age 5, lol! yes, smells matter
3. ‘Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.’ Tommy - age 6
4. ‘Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.’ Mary Ann - age 4

Best metaphors and similes in high school…
1. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free. (amen, brother)
2. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it. (who has this kid been talking to?!)
3. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef. (sorry to my Canadian buddies)
4. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever. (LOL!!)

From my traveling journals…
1. To say ignorance is a bliss, is to chew into an unknown protein source that’s not quiet beef or chicken but the sauce and the rice taste so darn good, you pray for quiet perpetual ignorance.
2. An oxymoron is the comforting uncomfortable feeling of cramps and gas she got after drinking real cow milk after weeks without it…pain never tasted so good!
3. Friendship is when your friend finds all the salsa clubs abroad and watches you be happy because she doesn’t dance a lick.
4. Happiness is looking at the 4×7 “water closet”/apartment and knowing she don’t need a thing but a good stable companion and her friends are only a phone call away.
5. She felt icky, like when the weird wrinkling, balding, and creepy foreigner, who couldn’t speak a lick of Korean even after 4 years in the country, wouldn’t stop looking at her breast even with two shirts on.
