24 March 2017: "It felt very sneaky...I have fond memories of hiding things from my grandparents." --a student in my ENGL 307 class today, discussing how, when she was little, her family hid the fact that the kids went trick-or-treating from her grandparents. (They disapproved for religious reasons.)
This made me laugh--and it did have some context, as we discussed Brown Girl Dreaming and the little girl's Jehovah's Witness upbringing. It's always neat to see the ways students connect with material.
