Though I have been out of formal education for over half a century, the term “essay,” like the term “blue book,” makes me cringe. I’m sure the world needs Mildreds, but…
The five paragraph essay is something I’ve never understood. When I was in school back in the neolithic period nobody taught it. Writing had just been discovered. My favorite high school English teacher taught what he called “The Army Way:” “Tell ‘em what you’re gonna tell ’em. Tell ’em. Tell ’em what you told ’em.” It enabled me to sail through 5 page papers in college.

Nancy, I feel, would exploit Mildred mercilessly.

Wow. Is anybody out there who is a fan of even slightly funny comedians, who will admit they are a fan of this redhead girl?

Please don’t let Mildred discover the YouTube comments section of any video. I worry.
