IF YOU WANT TO HIDE SOMETHING FROM A BLACK MAN....
Ever heard of this expression "If you want to hide something from a black man, put it in a book" (or write it down)?
Well, yesterday I had such a busy day, so to unwind in the evening I popped in to see my nephew and niece. I sat there watching them do their home work and couldn't help notice their English textbooks. The topics jumped out at me 'Verbal Reasoning', 'Punctuation', 'Comprehension' and as I flipped through the pages it's all came flooding back and I commented that I wish I could do it all again. You know, like start off afresh, learning my A,B,C from the basics. I 'fessed up that I often mix up the use of punctuation marks and how at times when writing I muddle the whole speaking in First person, Second person and Third person thingy. As for the 'Past Tense, Present tense' stuff let's not go there.
