Friday I was surfing the internet as my kids were working on their form poetry. A couple of kids wrote some really good villanelles. Really good. It was awesome.

So I am clicking through my normal list of blogs and one of my funny latino gentemen says to me.

“Mrs. Norman, are you looking up how to be a good mom on the internet?”

“Ummm, I guess you could say that. Yeah.”

“This is why we make fun of white people.”

To which one of my black girls chimed in, “For real Ms. Norman”
