(eating candy in homeroom)
Me: "Do you remember Amelia Bedelia?"
6th grader: "Oh, my gosh. She is so stupid! They say, 'hit the road', she gets a stick and hits the road. They say, 'french toast' and she puts the France flag in toast. They say, 'hot dog' and she gets a dog that is hot. She is an IDIOT!"
Me: "Tell me about it."
making fun of a decades old, time-honored, American children's literature? Blasephemous! 'Teach Us Amelia' was my favorite :)
