In retrospect, she must have been. All I could think at the time as a know-it-all 6th grader was how dense she was never to catch me missing for hours. She was a character and had definitely been around the block teaching school. She probably thought "what a NERD - oh let her go - this class is boring to me, too." ;-) Kakki
