My head was going to blow up and leave pieces of meat scattered all over my living room.
I haven’t had a

Thoughts keep running through my head. Never stopping. Never ceasing. It was driving
me insane, for
heaven’s sake.
“Okay, now I want you to focus on the key and the insects we are studying,” I tell Mary,

She studies the insects in the book before turning to me. At first, she seems unsure, but

“Only one insect has large wings in this list, so the butterfly will go under that category”
I smile at her, glad that she got it. “Good. So since it’s the only one with large wings, the
rest will fall under the small or no wings. Given that this is like a game of elimination and
they’re a lot, we will subdivide them into categories. So what do you think the next two

“With very long legs, the category will end with mosquitoes, while for short rear legs, I’ll

praise when they have accomplished something.
“Very good”

After that, the rest is easy for her. I give her exercises, and she excels in all of them. After
our session, I give her an assignment to do at home.
“Thank you, Ava” she says at the door. “You make Biology easy to understand.”

gardening, but I had been so lost that I hadn’t heard him when he arrived.
“Yeah….I just have a lot on my mind. I’d hoped this would help,” I tell him while wiping
some of the dirt from my clothes.
“Anything I can help you figure out?”
