my language arts teacher is the dumbest person on the planet.  for a homework assignment she made us write an ode to a fruit or vegetable.  what am i supposed to say that is good about kumkwats and artichokes?  I'm telling you she's lost her marbles.  only a mentally retarted person wwrites an ode to an artichoke.  (not that anyone who reads this is retarted if they wrote an ode to a fruit!!)  i wrote an ode to a calamondin.  it is like an orange except smaller and more sour.
