It’s overcast today. When Mom last took MeeMaw to the hospital, she saw some posters about vaccines that reminded her I missed one of mine. So today, she insisted I get the injection. I was reluctant, obviously. No one really likes needles, right? Before my turn, other kids were crying so hard that I started to panic too. But the nurse was really nice, and a bit mischievous. She played a little trick on me to help me through it. She asked me to look away and count down from three to one. But she actually gave me the injection the moment I turned my face away, before I even started counting! I was so distracted that I didn’t feel a thing. How clever of her!

Hey learners, try this quiz which tests learners' ability to understand and correctly use the phrase "must have been" in context.

When was the last time you were in a classroom?

It was sunny today. After dusk, Mom took MeeMaw and me out for a nice stroll around the neighborhood. Last night, I bought Dad a T-shirt as his birthday present. But, alas! It said “Good grief, Charlie Brown!” on the front. The word “grief” really triggered Dad’s nerves. He couldn’t stand the word, even though we all know the phrase doesn’t literally mean anything about grief. It’s all about MeeMaw’s situation, right? However, just for the sake of his mental health, I had tossed that T-shirt right away and brought him a new Mickey Mouse one. He’ll definitely accept this one. But anyway, I can’t blame him. I should have thought more deeply before making the purchase. After all, now Dad is the most sensitive one at home.
