An A + on a paper will soon be made. Take it to the bank.
In addition to having a very strong helper person, unload (and load a dishwasher), yard work assistant, attic cleaner outer, hauler of stuff to the recycle, the Good Will pile, and trash bins, we had a most capable student as measured by capacity to put up with learning from the master.
To the uninitiated, this student had the temerity to ask for a little help on a major paper for school. We are talking throw me in that briar patch. "Modern terrorism and how it has changed" is the topic, (or something like that) and resident expert has some resources and knowledge he is eager to share
and notes are taken, - footnotes noted, sources documented, and wisdom is shared all for the benefit of said student.
She is unsure if "Ahmed the Dead Terrorist" is a legitimate expert to quote on the subject or not. As is true of most of the younger set, this student was not aware of Jeff Dunham's friend Ahmed. Ahmed has observations of many subjects, not the least of which is his profession. (Jeff has other puppet friends too, and they too are a hoot)
I am trying to persuade our student that Ahmed represents a current take on modern terrorism, or at least a unique source. (for those interested, he is well documented on you tube under Achmed. Which is an incorrect spelling of his name -- according to student - who knows Arabic - or so she says. and I am betting she does.
I am not worried about our grade at all.
