Watching Michael Stipe telling the monsters to be happy again, it occurs to me that if Stipe would put on some muscle, regrow his hair and dress muy macho, he’d look just like Chris Metzen. Weird.
I just got back from Topaz Elementary School a little while ago. For the third year in a row, I’ve participated in the NEA’s Read Across America Day.
Once again, I read some Robert Munsch books to local students (third graders this time). This year, it was I Have to Go! (which is about what you think it’s about) and Mud Puddle. That’s right, I’m not above pandering to third graders with gross-out humor. I’m not ashamed.
Munsch’s books didn’t become popular until I had grown up out of his target age range, but he doesn’t seem to have written a dud yet. In previous years, I read his books Show and Tell and Wait and See.
