She thought she was a bridge master, but repeatedly proved she was a beginner. We usually needed her for a fourth, though.
For the first night of Hell Week, we had to ship her off to a motel.
She had a daughter who was a freshman or sophomore on campus, and she became the chapter 'date' - always available. On the first date, everybody got to second base, and some went further.

The disappearance of housemothers has to be another step on the stairway to irrelevance.
