I’M A CERTIFIED MEMBER I’m a certified member of the “we never guess we look it up” club. Yes, as a student I had a lesson I wonder if anyone else coveted this piece of paper, these words, the way I did. It stuck in my brain indelibly glued, so words are inclined to be looked up and understood before they fall upon your ears. Do you remember a catch phrase from school? Share it in comments. It must be a positive phrase from your classroom days. Pilot your former classroom… full speed ahead! 6/20/2019

I do not remember any catch phrases from school except "I don't want to talk about it" which came from one of my classmates daily every day, and with the same teacher who goaded him into answering a question every day. Thanks for the memory.

This isn't really what you requested, but here goes anyway. In 6th grade, I wrote this in a story: 'She lives next store.' My teacher asked me what I meant. I answered, 1171 Wade Street and 1175 Wade Street. She smiled and wrote 'next door.' Then I smiled too. :) gw

Kim~ Here's one from my days at Holy Family Academy Elementary. "In the golden chain of friendship, count me as a link." (I still like it decades, later.) BTW~ I also was trained to look everything up. I check mutiple news sources and I question everything I am told. I try not to live by cliches, too Panagitota

Thanks, Panagiota! That reminds me of Girl Scouts...a song - make new friends and keep the old...one is silver and the other gold! I’d say even my PS friends like Y..O..U! <3 Kim
