"What are you doing this weekend?" I heard Niyah asking loudly and exaggeratedly at the next table during lunch today. She turned and looked over her shoulder at me. "I'm Ms. Sarah! That's what you always say!" True, that is what I say when I pull up a seat at one of the tables during lunch. "What else will be part of this Ms. Sarah impersonation?" I wondered, thinking of Mr. Halpern's recent post over at Look at My Happy Rainbow.
"Sit down! Eat your lunch!" Niyah/Ms. Sarah continued. Well, true, that is also what I say quite frequently at lunch time. I then tuned out of their conversation for a bit but caught the tail end, following a fake slap between Niyah and her friend Amelia. "Don't slap me!" said Amelia. "Ms. Sarah doesn't slap people!"
