Yep, the girl again.

Anastasia came home with her midterm report card today. Seven A's, on track to maintain her 4.0 GPA.

That part isn't a surprise. What was a surprise was the comment hiding among the "pleasure to have in class" and "outstanding citizenship" comments. "Husky attire inhibits quality of thinking."

It seems there's a bit of a friendly rivalry with one of her favorite teachers.

Bow down to Washington,

Bow down to Washington,

Mighty are the men

Who wear the purple and the gold,

Joyfully we welcome them

Within the victors fold.

We will carve their names (names!)

In the Hall of Fame (fame!)

To preserve the memory of our devotion.

So heaven help the foes of Washington;

They're trembling at the feetOf mighty Washington,

Our boys are there with bells (bells!),

Their fighting blood excels (excels!),

It's harder to push them over the line

Than pass the Dardanelles.

So victory's the cry of Washington

Our leather lungs together

With a Rah! Rah! Rah!And o'er the land

The loyal band

Will sing the glory

Of Washington forever.
