The Kellis

It's been quite some time since a Kellis post, and I do apologize. I've been storing pieces of information about this quirky man and hiding them in the margins of my notes.

Some things I have learned:

1. He used to live on a chicken farm for a time: "My stepdad used to give me a penny for every dozen he collected, but he would give the farmhands $5 a dozen-- which I always thought was a rip-off, you know?"

2. He always buys Smart Chicken at the supermarket-- double the price, but less hormones injected.

3. Kellis has a 14 year-old daughter who wears organic makeup (He bought it for her).

4. He spent last summer in Hawaii.

The other thing I must write about is the overwhelming presences of two students: one an older, outspoken non-trad who constantly asks, " BUT WHY??" or "Stop it!" -- the other student being a more traditional, younger student, but articulates his words very slowly and often reads the questions he asks, as if he carefully wrote them out before. He also seriously acts as if he forgot to take his medication. Although these students' names remain unknown to me, I have named them Mercedes (non-trad) and E.K. for Emo Kid (unmedicated one). Oh, and did I mention that these two almost got in a fight one morning? Kellis calmed them down, after declaring: "If a fight breaks out in this classroom, I will NO doubt be involved!"

I leave you with this quote from last week:

"North Canada used to be one of the most untouched parts of the world, but no longer..."
