First Graders

 Burton's first grade teacher in Mason City was Miss Wassom. Years later, when he was in San Diego and I was in Mason city,  Miss Wassom was my supervising teacher when I was doing student teaching. I remember her saying to the first graders when they stood up to talk, "Begin by saying if this is a true story or one I made up." The children did. They knew the difference. Currently President Trump is often called a child. What an insult to children. Would that Trump knew the difference between truth and "made up."
