Miss Meadows
(5.00 / 1 vote)Beautiful day.
Yes, it certainly is.
- That's a pretty dress.
- Thank you.
What you reading?
- Poetry.
- I know a poem. Want to hear it?
- No, thanks.
- I love Little P*ssy.
Her fur is so warm. And if I don't
hurt her, she'll do me no harm.
What's the matter, don't you like it?
Hey, why don't you and I get some lunch
and you could read
No, thank you.
I prefer to read silently.
Oh, 'cause I'm real hungry
and I hate to eat alone.
Then perhaps a cafeteria-style diner
would suit your needs.
Think you're pretty cute, don't you?
My mother says I have
a certain kind of loveliness
though I believe in the Anasazi Indians
that the face is for others to look at.
Get in.
I'm going to walk away now.
I suggest you let me.
Get in!
- Are you threatening me?
- Get in!
Toodle-oo.
Who saw him die?
"I," said the fly, "With my little eye."
Mother dear,
how do we get blood out again?
I told you, dear.
Lemon juice with equal parts ice water.
If you let it soak long enough,
no one'll know the difference.
- It'll be our little secret.
- We have so many, Mother dear.
Now, tell Mother.
Don't fib. Did you accidentally
cut yourself with a knife again?
Mother dear.
- Oh, Mother never stops her worry, Mary.
- You always say that.
- 'Cause it's always true.
- I can take care of myself.
So... what does my little big girl
plan on doing today?
I am substitute-teaching
in a low-income,
racially mixed bottom-scoring,
first-grade classroom.
Oh, you poor darling.
You could have run a charm school
in a soon-to-be bankrupt
department store or been president.
But that wasn't my destiny, Mother.
Well, I hardly think your destiny
Well, no one knows
their destiny except... God...
or... a best-selling author.
Well, I just don't understand
why you don't something more permanent.
Permanence is temporary, Mother dear.
Well, I suppose
there's some truth in that, Mary.
The truth is relative.
- I guess I should let you go.
- You'll never let me go.
- Toodle-oo. I love you.
- Toodle-oo. I love you too.
Life is mostly froth and bubble.
Kindness in another's trouble
and courage in your own.
What the author in this book
is trying to tell us,
that no matter what the most important things
in life are kindness and courage.
Who can tell me an example
of courage in their own lives?
- Miss Meadows, Miss Meadows!
- Gordon?
- Mrs. Meadows?
- It's Miss Meadows. Let's continue.
If you're a "miss," does that mean
you miss having a husband?
Well, that's one interpretation.
Although the other is that I prefer it
that way because I have all of you.
So who has an example for me?
Wow! You thought of one, Heather?
No, not yet. Can I help you find
an example of courage?
Well, Mrs. Dodd left us.
Well, Mrs. Dodd isn't here right now.
Miss Meadows is.
- Of course she is.
- No, she's not!
My grandma had the same thing
she does and she died.
I saw her in her coffin.
She looked like string cheese.
Well, it sounds like Mrs. Dodd
is an example of courage.
How about we make
"get well soon" cards for Mrs. Dodd
and I will personally see that she gets them?
Are we doing coloured or plain?
- Plain. Coloured!
- Plai... Oh, my goodness!
Mrs. Dodd's got the Big C. Don't fill
those children's minds with false hope.
There are over 13 million cancer survivors
throughout the world.
The only thing false
is not having any hope.
- Is that a fact?
