This is one of the cats we saw at dinner last night. We dined with a friend who owns two cats, that dines on her porch and tells stories that begin with “When I was living in Paris … ”
She made a delightful meal, I hope we were decent company. Another friend brought cookies. They were also delightful. The cats were cats, moody and hiding and staring at one another. We wondered, What if cats are telepathic? What are they saying to one another right now?
Most assuredly, it was a plot against us. They are cats.
Mobile County school officials announced Saturday that the system’s safety contract has been discontinued.
The action came in the wake of widespread media reports about a kindergartner at E.R. Dickson Elementary School who was asked to sign a safety contract after allegedly drawing a picture of a gun.
The child’s mother said the kindergartner was asked to sign the contract without her consent, and was also given a questionnaire to evaluate her for suicidal thoughts. The mother also said that after the incident, her daughter asked her what the word “suicide” meant.
So a little national exposure brings about some semblance of common sense. Go figure.
