Cool Stuff Grandma Smillew and Principal Mark Suroviec, M.Ed. Taught Us

by Billy Smillew and Anacita Domingo-Sonntag

Billy: “Grandma said lying is bad for your breath. I like to breathe.”

Anacita: “That’s not what she said. She said lying down on the job is what Carrie Ann does.”

Billy: “Grandma said, ‘Stop and smell the roses, the carnations, and the sage —’”

Anacita: “ — but don’t inhale the potted plants that the Cannabis Lady planted.”

Billy: “Principal Mark said, ‘School’s out until further notice’.”

Anacita: “Principal Mark is our pal. He let us take our color pencils home and our new coloring book from Toni The Talker.”

Billy: “He said the ‘no more books’ part in the song isn’t true, cuz Nevada didn’t ban any books.”

Anacita: “That’s because no one in Nevada knows how to read.”

Billy: “Liar, liar, pants on fire.”

Anacita: “Oh yeah, H. Mikel Feilen lives in Nevda. He knows how to read and write and draw cool cartoons.”

Billy: “I want to be an artist when I grow up.”

Anacita: “Maybe we can do another poster for Grandma Ann’s book.”

Lucy: “Tengo una historia para la niña del director Mark.”

Anacita: “Do you remember how to type?”

Lucy: “Por supuesto que sí, niña.”

Dear Lucy,

I really love your name. It’s the name of Sandra Bullock’s characters in two of her best movies: “While You Were Sleeping” and “Two Weeks Notice”.

Also, a very funny actress, Lucille Ball. Maybe you’ve watched her videos with your family.

“Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds” is a favorite song. John Lennon wrote it about a drawing his little boy brought home from school.

It’s a fun song to play with and write your own lyrics.

xoxo, Lucy

Lucy: “Now you two, it’s time to play. I’ll wait for you outside.”
