Once Upon a Time…

After a break like the one our students have just enjoyed, something like the following exchange will often take place. “How was vacation?” I will ask. “Great,” will hopefully come the answer, on which I will build with a lighthearted plea for detail: “How about a story? Just one story, [name],
