Me Knows Better Than to Say This… but I will. This week, a high school classmate reached her dream and published her first novel. In honor of her exquisite writing, I thought could share the other end of the spectrum.
A colleague of Jimmy reminded me that his own writing in high school never quite conveyed the message he intended. He always had the best intentions and was (and still is today) a very thoughtful person nonetheless. While in high school and dating the girl he would eventually marry, he thought he would surprise her with a fresh doughnut he picked up on the way to school and place it in her locker with a little love note. This is where the thoughtful gesture went wildly astray.
She opened her locker to a great surprise and read the note. It said, “Good morning sweat heart. This dognut is for you.”
She still married him. She is a teacher today and reminds all her students about the importance of proper spelling. He is an engineer. I guess we are all predestined to certain careers.
Congratulations Colleen on your novel… Jimmy took the easy way out and pursued engineering.
