Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 03, 2009

I told you that your teacher won’t believe you, Danae.

“Ate a bug onthe 4th of July.” How exciting!

LOLloudly. Poor Danae. SOoo funny

One should never stifle a child’s imagination. If the teacher doesn’t believe Danae’s story, she should still listen rather than stop a tale that could provide a creative outlet for an imaginative mind.

I was there! It’s all true!!!

cleokaya - I do agree about stifling a child’s imagination, but having one kid in class rambling on about all her imaginative adventures is probably stifling all the other kids. Teacher should direct the kids imagination in a more constructive manner.

“What a terrible thing to have lost one’s mind. Or not to have a mind at all. How true that is”. Dan Quayle

Forget Danae….I want to hear Jody’s story!!

Poor Danae….

Poor Danae, it’s so fustrating when you work hard at something you usually wouldn’t bother with only to be ignored.

She should have brought Captain Eddy to back up her story.

@BC 13: But wouldn’t that take all day?

Hey, go for it Danae. Some day you should become a terrific politician!

No photos?

I still say half of those pages are blank.

watcha - The teacher already directed Danae to give her the highlights, so Danae should have the opportunity to do just that. Once finished the teacher should have then said something like “That is interesting and imaginative, perhaps you have a future in creating fantasy novels.”

…or perhaps a future in writing comic strips.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Wiley writes much of this out of personal experience :-) :-) :-)

DevXlll If she tried to read that report to the class, it would take all week. Since Capt. Eddy would only be there to back up her story, I’m sure he could give the abridged version.

See: the real problem with lies: nobody believes you when you tell the truth.

Not that anyone would believe Danae anyway…

Why would the class believe Captain Eddy? Nobody else does. I agree with grazer, I want to know more about Jody…

The teacher should have let Danae read at least some of the story. I bet her classmates would have enjoyed it.

if you write it, they won’t listen

Bug trumps wormhole ! bummer…

More like write it but they won’t read…as opposed to build it and they will come.

Danae should make lemon out of this lemonade. Put the summer vacation report into book form and look for a publisher.

Maybe this is how Piers Anthony got his start…

I still want to hear about the bug also - what kind WAS it? How big? Crunchy?

wndrwrthg: Quayle, Spiro Agnew… The Wonder Years.

AK, and she could illustrate the book and sell it as a comic! Oh, that’s been done…

Spiro who? Ba-dum-bum.

Doncha miss Quayle? Always good for a laugh.
