"I'm going to be absent for a while," a student told me today. "I have to have my tonsils removed and the recovery is two weeks."
"Really!" I marveled. "You know, when I was a kid lots of people had their tonsils out, but I don't think I've ever had a student in the last 30 years who's had that surgery."
It was the same student who crochets and shops at Ikea, so I guessed it was fitting for her to have such an old-fashioned operation.
My hunch was confirmed when she shrugged and answered, "Well I do want to be able to sleep through the night, you know."
