A couple??? What else did I do?

I'm an old lady and I don't keep a notebook like some people.

Y’all want to her a story? Too bad I’m gonna share it.

When I was a kid my little brother really struggled with dyslexia but my parents being 1980’s parents thought they could cure him by torturing him with reading drills and what not. So naturally we had the hooked on phonics tapes. Well one day our dog got a hold of the box and ate a couple of the tapes. I don’t remember a thing about what was on those tapes but I do remember my 7 year old brother sobbing that the tapes didn’t help the dog learn to read either.

Was this 8 track tapes or cassette tapes?

I think it was cassette .. I remember it being a huge “book” of tapes … this dog liked to get a hold of tape and drag it all over the house

Anything has the potential to be a chew toy for a dog. Or the toilet.

Hey that's better than how I learned English - Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, and listening to my Vietnam Vet neighbor (he had the most amazing profanity-laced tantrums ever!)

Was your neighbor Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino by chance?

Subtract the neighbor and add in Captain Kangaroo and the Electric Company and that's mine.

Oh, and the public library. There was no better place to go as a kid.

 

[LatinaCarmen1980]

Was your neighbor Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino by chance?

I wish.

 

[Dayhoosier]

Amazing reference

 

[LordofDargaardkeep]

Was your neighbor Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino by chance?

Nope... He was LordofDargaardKeeps father

 

[Stephie02]

Well done! What will your degree be in?

English with a minor in journalism. Going for my MA in English in the fall

 

[Stephie02]

Huh?

 

[rick_j21]

English with a minor in journalism. Going for my MA in English in the fall

That’s awesome. I got a BA in English and a minor in History. I work in finance so clearly that English degree paid off.

 

[Xerxes82]

Tosses notebook aside and pushes my breasts out.

Yeah.... Same.

Nobody paid any attention to the rest of the conversation after this.

 

[Stephie02]

That’s awesome. I got a BA in English and a minor in History. I work in finance so clearly that English degree paid off.

Yeah, we'll see. That's why journalism though.

 

[env789]

Huh?

Guys, she's an English major, not an archaeologist!

 

[KatieKulka32]

Huh?

How people listened to music in the Dark Ages.

 

[Stephie02]

Guys, she's an English major, not an archaeologist!

I do like ancient history, but AFTER they stopped writing on stone

 

[rick_j21]

Yeah, we'll see. That's why journalism though.

When I was an English major the joke was to make sure you learn how to say “do you want fries with that?”

Last year I helped my grand parents clean out some junk they wanted to get rid of, I found 8 tracks!
