I Felt Foolish
Let’s make man *****erectus the teacher said.
I did not know what they meant,
thinking it might be an appendage we should not add
As this Legos project was being done as a group project
in a fourth-grade class.
I voiced my concerns.
The teacher looked horrified.
She suggested that I look up *****erectus.
I did and felt foolish now; I could barely look at her.
I had never heard of the Pleistocene period
and barely knew where Indonesia was.
Maybe you could help with the lemonade stand?
The teacher suggested.
I ran to get the cups.
