When I was in the second grade we moved in with Grandma and Grandpa. Mom and Dad had gotten divorced, and *oops!* didn't figure out the mortgage payments, so Mom lost the house.
In one big huge swoop, uncles and aunts descended on the house, packed it all into a U-haul, and we moved about two hours south.
We lived there for the school year.
My second grade teacher, Ms Fredrickson (wow, that flowed easily, I've been trying to remember it for years), would reward our math and spelling homework/class work with little Garfield cutouts.
These were run on the ditto machine, a large press with a drum that was noisy, and printed in blue ink (cutting edge for the day). And, mostly, they were on goldenrod paper. Sort of a simple sticker, except it involved Scotch tape on the back of the paper.
Being that Garfield was our unofficial mascot, I became slightly obsessed with the desire to order all the Garfield books that came in the book orders. I picked up about 8 or so books that year (thanks, Mom!).
All this to post one of the funniest links that I've seen in awhile: Garfield minus Garfield.
Certainly worth the time.
