Computers. Ever Heard of Them?

Today during the Parent Discussion Time of The Governor's Early Childhood class, the Parent Educator said, "I've got a question for you all to answer as a little ice breaker." We're five weeks into the session, but okay, I'm game.

Her question: "What is your favorite cartoon and why?"

Eight parents today. Here are the eight answers:

Peanuts - because it's always been my favorite.

Calvin & Hobbes - Calvin reminds me of my little Ronnie.

One Big Happy - Ruthie reminds me of my little Sally.

Dennis the Menace - Dennis reminds me of my little Bobby.

The Far Side - It's funny.

The Family Circus - I just love the cute things the kids do.

For Better or Worse - [I couldn't hear the reason; I was looking for something to throw at the parent who liked The Family Circus.]

Day By Day - Because Hillary Clinton leaning over Karl Rover whispering, "Karl, I am your mother" is funnier than anything in print today.

They all stared an me and one mom finally said, "I don't think I've ever seen this Day by Day you're talking about.

Even in town...I'm surrounded by the wilderness.

Even in the sticks you have some important phrases in school.

Parent Discussion Time (talking?)
Early Childhood class (preschool?)
Parent Educator (instructor or leader?)

P.S. I hope you found something good to throw at the one who liked the Family Circus. Aaack.

As an ice-breaker I usually use "Which one person would you choose to help you get rid of the body, and why?"
