Re: Humor: Warm fuzzies

[Diane H <daichan@ISLANDNET.COM>]

I just had to add one of my moments.  Yesterday the library was quiet except
for a table of grade 12 students who were having a very intense discussion.
I assumed they were talking about the up-coming grad movie night or who had
broken up with whom, or which teacher was the lamest, etc., however when I
walked by to file something in the vertical file I got a most pleasant
surprise.  What were they discussing so intently?  Milton's Paradise Lost.
I almost fell over!  After I recovered from the shock, I told them how they
had just made my day.  They were a bit embarrassed but I think they were
also pleased to see my reaction because they were back again today with
their Lit 12 books!
