Yep! I learned that too. All though it didn’t seem to help much with getting permission from my one first grade teacher. The one morning I remembered to ask “May I please go to the bathroom?” and she said “No, you may not.” And then guess what happened in the middle of morning prayers? Yep! Big old puddle of pee all over the floor. She’d probably said no because she did always take the whole class down right after prayers, but the problem was that I’d been holding since I’d left the house that morning, all through morning Mass, and until we got to class. I just couldn’t keep it in there one more second. To be fair, I didn’t tell her just how badly I had to go.
I’m on a site where there are a lot of teenagers……not only can they not construct a sentence correctly, but they cannot spell! The other day one spelled ‘phrase’ as ‘fraise’ ! Do not get me started on how people on eBay spell sequins. I’ve seen sequence so many times the dictionary might as well change the spelling. Veil is spelled vale, vall, viel, and the best one: vallie!

I had a grade school teacher that used that exact same correction method.

Funny…. now that Burl is older,
it’s his doctor who asks that way….
Can you go to the bathroom?
(Ok, OK…. I’m sorry….)

Wonder if the magazines are more current than the cat poster.

I hope there’s a proctologist across the hall. Burl’s going to need a walker removed. (The owner won’t want it back.)

Wow. I am surprised Burl remembered that can/may usage structure. I guess his 17-18 years of K-12 education did accomplish something. :)

Unless the fellow with the walker is very slender he won’t fit on that couch anyway.
