What? You Didn't Get This Post Last Week?

Thought you missed last week's post? Thought that I was too lazy last Sunday night at 10:30 p.m. when I decided it was too late to post--that I'd just do it the next day (which, then, of course, I never got around to until a week later). Well, look at the date of this post. Clearly, someone else must be to blame. It couldn't be me.

Ali brought home some of the stories that she wrote at school. They are so classic, I thought they should be shared.
