Ursula's teacher, Miss Fardemar, is standing in front of the class with "New Year's Resolutions" written on the board behind her. She asks, "So who has a New Year's resolution they'd like to share?" Ursula has her hand up and is waving it, and Miss Fardemar calls on her: "Ursula?" Ursula says, "Watch more cartoons and do less homework!" Miss Fardemar replies, "Well, you have to do the homework I assign." Ursula retorts, "Not if you make a resolution to stop assigning it."

Nice try, Ursula. Swing and a miss, but nice try.

Ursula's teacher, Miss Fardemar is smiling and clutching a stack of papers to her chest as Ursula enters the classroom. Miss Fardemar says to her, "Ursula, you're back! I thought you were off to raid England in Viking homeschool." Ursula scowls and growls in response. Miss Fardemar continues, "Well, you can tell us all about it... maybe even in Danish!" Ursula replies, "Pretty sure I'll get detention if I use any of the Danish words I learned from my brothers..."

Guess Ruth told Beryl all about the whole Viking homeschool thing.

October 27, 2022: Ursula’s Reading Habits

Noah's parent-teacher conference with Ursula's teacher Ms. Fardemar continues. Ms. Fardemar says "I'm also concerned about Ursula's reading. She—" Noah interrupts her, saying "What? Ursula's a great reader!" Ms. Fardemar continues "Reading material, not ability. She's done book reports on 'The Anarchist Cookbook,' 'The Art of War,' and 'The End of School." Noah retorts "So?" Ms. Fardemar adds, "She also keeps asking when we'll learn to make C4 in science class." Completely missing the point, Noah says "I told her 100 times: C4 is the middle note on the piano."

When I was in school, back when the internet was just bulletin boards, one of my pals had a printout of what was supposed to be the Anarchist Cookbook, and we all took turns borrowing it and reading it.
