reminds me of that guy that the mayor of D.C. let go for (correctly) using the word "niggardly" in a speech. i think he eventually rehired the guy. i was in high school, at the time. i expect that thing from our nation's capitol, though. before that mayor, didn't they re-elect a crackhead?

i had forgotten about Beverly Cleary's Ramona until i read this thread. we watched Ramona's Bad Day in the 3rd grade, i think. you had to bring in a permission slip for movie day, but there was trail mix and popcorn.
