  3. What a cute school, with the bell and everything'
    And after graduation, keep learning! Through our lives, we're out of school way longer than in, and have the opportunity to learn whatever we want. As I know you do. :)

    1. I don't know why it is called "College." It was my mom's elementary school. It is still in operation. I don't know how many students there were, nor do I know how many there are now.

It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...
