When Mamacita was in school, she hated group work and she still does. Too many lazy grasshoppers.

It was unfair then and it’s unfair now.  I can still remember the feeling of outrage when this would happen.  I still feel outraged.

I did all the work for the clouds group in the second-grade weather pageant. I think of it every time I see a buttermilk sky or mare’s tails or cumulo-nimbus clouds.
