In Which Miss Jill Displays Her Passionate Love for Unicejas

The good news is that I have realized that writing blog posts is a good way to kill commute time.

At the start of the school year I wanted to gauge my students’ knowledge of vocabulary words, so we played a game in which I quizzed them on random words. In one class the game ended in a tie and I used the word “ceja (eyebrow)” as a tie breaker. The kids begged me for a hint and I acquiesced-”Some people have one of these and some people have two,” I said. They thought for a moment and one student enthusiastically threw his hand into the air and shouted, “I know it! I know it! It’s eyebrow!” I was impressed and asked him how he figured that out so quickly. “I knew it because I’m one of the people who has one!” A cursory inspection of his beaming face inspired me to think, “True dat.”
