OT--Weird, weird day!
Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 8:51 amTwo things you need to know first before my story: 1) I manage a grant for PreKindergarten programs and 2) my secretary's name is Pam and her hubby is a Methodist preacher.
This would be much funnier if I was telling you instead of writing you, but here goes:
I have been setting up a workshop for next month with a lady that does a whole day coordinating classroom lessons with Dr. Seuss books and the implementation of the Texas Prekindergarten guidelines. At any rate, my secretary, Pam, was drafting up the contract for the speaker and noted the title of the workshop and mentioned how good it sounded. A little while later I headed to lunch. As I passed by Pam’s desk, she said, “well, I thought Dr. Seuss would be ok for my grandkids, but I don’t approve of some of the book titles”. I’m thinking, “what the hell, I’ve read every one to all of my kids, what could she possibly be objecting to, however, she IS a preacher’s wife, so………” Anyway, she showed me her computer monitor, where she had looked up some of the books. THERE ON HER MONITOR was a book entitled, “Dr. Seuss ‘I”ll Put My Foot Up Your Ass’”!!!!!!!!!!! I was like, “WTF”????? Then she scrolled down and showed me another one she objected to called “ ‘Dr. Seuss ‘F*ck the Cat In The Hat’”!!!!!!!!! I was like, “PAM, THAT’S NOT A REAL SITE, those are bogus books”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, that was weird and I was freaking out for a second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am still freaked out.

How old is Pam? And is she from this planet? Did her mom never read Dr. Seuss to her?
