junior wasn't very bright but he was interested interested in everything
he stared out the window at school at the cars driving by and the planes in the sky and the big rigs on the highway
but what he really liked was helicopters (there weren't too many of them) and blimps (maybe one a year)
the teacher would say to the class junior is dreaming again what are you dreaming about junior? and he would answer
huh?
he never did his homework but went home and worked on model planes and model trains and trucks and cars and helicopters and blimps and sometimes ships and submarines
he got the money for these things by working at wendy's and collecting bottles and cans in an old shopping cart
junior is all grown up now and loads and unloads trucks at costcos and he goes to pta meetings but his wife does all the talking

...I guess I want to say, his wife STILL does all the talking...and if not she, then, who?? this has a sweet deceptiveness about it...
oh how i loved i was junior's teacher... such a creative and soulful being...
then he would do all the talking himself...
i had many juniors as students... of course all of them were 18+... and i loved the way they learned to express themselves...
some teachers are soul-killers... they just teach to say, 'hey look at me! i know better than you...'
