Sticky

Left of the Mississippi offers her usual humorous take this week on the intersection between a late-blooming public school gen-x'er and the private academy she now calls home. Given America's ballooning obesity problem, I think she ought to lay off the candy treats as incentives and tell her so in the Comments--my privilege as her late-but-n0t-quite-so-late-blooming-public- school-boomer sister. Plus, I remember a high school field trip to Lake's Crossing, the state mental hospital in Reno, Nevada, during which the psychiatric nurses would pop M&Ms into the mouths of severely disturbed children when they (the children) managed to behave well. Sooooo I'm a bit uncomfortable w/the whole candy treat incentive thing.

But the actual MLA activity she describes sounds interesting. I hope she'll share it, like a good little sis.
