Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Please Use Consonant In a Sentence

“Please use it in a sentence.”
“We live on the Chicago consonant,” the eighth grader said, proudly.
“Do you know what a consonant is?” The teacher asked the student.
“Sure,” he said, “Like Rhode Island, right?” His classmates nodded.
The teacher sighed.   Un-learning is so much tougher than learning.
On a happier note, she was grateful that she was the English teacher,
Not the geography teacher.

M. L. Kiser December 5, 2018 at 10:04 AM Oh boy...I hope he has been enlightened or there's no college in his future. I take it that this was one real experience? Caren Krutsinger December 5, 2018 at 12:36 PM This was fabricated from a variety of similar experiences. I always smile when I say they can move to any country and they say they will move to California, and I keep my mouth shut, not wanting to spoil their train of thought. If you ask children of today to name the continents, I can but imagine what they would say. Hollywood, Palm Beach, Orlando?
