Overheard a teacher <br />the other day <br />Having coffee <br />Telling a friend <br /> <br />Gave this assignment <br />to my second graders <br />You're shipwrecked <br />on an island <br /> <br />Draw me a picture <br />then tell me a story <br />of what you would do <br />to save yourself <br /> <br />Boys: 'With my sword <br />I would do this <br />With my gun <br />I would do that' <br /> <br />Girls: 'I'd explore <br />Get some food and flowers <br />Build a house and <br />wait to get rescued' <br /> <br />Lots of men around here <br />Doing this and that <br />Lots of women too <br />Waiting to get rescued<br /><br />Tom J.
