Words Get In The Way

Words do get in the way–do watch them. -Michelle Liew

“Watch those darn words,” groused Mavis, Spencerfield’s angsty mouthpiece and elementary school teacher. Townsfolk believed she was just eccentric, always on a language crusade as if these would end in grail findings. “Words stick. Words stew.”

She became the town’s tact police after its mayor corrected her grammar in front of the townsfolk–again. The town ignored the nagging shenanigans–and Mavis.

That is until a conversation with an errant student. “Well, bless your father–and his slippery hands.”

The next morning, the mayor was new. And Mavis? She became the school’s principal.
