Paper Bag Valentine’s

February 14, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula wears a paper bag over her head to hide from Noah wearing a giant heart to her school.

Noah never met a silly costume or a holiday he didn’t embrace whole-heartedly… much to Ursula’s chagrin.

Still, the paper bag is a bit unnecessary, as we can be sure that all her school friends know Noah’s her dad by now.

Ursula’s Reading Habits

February 7, 2024October 27, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
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.
