Drat! (Did the parents get their tuition back?)
:-)
haha!
in the smaller classes it used to happen with me...They called me "Devaki" than "Devika" -- I used to get upset because 'Devaki' (the name of Lord Krishna's mothers )was a name of my grant parent's generation or beyond..later, no one made that mistake...may be my name was becoming more common
I know some who get wild when this happens...
But then, my father used to say -- 'what's in a name if you don't show the quality or live up to its meaning'!
anyway, enjoyable haiku, Bill :)
wishes,
devika

Hi Bill,
Do you think you or your readers would be interested in learning about Nashville's Hot Tomato Haiku Contest for tomato-related haiku?
It grew out of the Tomato Art Fest (http://tomatoartfest.com/) and attracted hundreds of entries last year. Entry is free and we're giving away some great prizes! You don't have to be from Nashville (or even Tennessee) to enter, though winners should be willing to read their winning haiku at this year's festival (August 8th).
I'd be glad to provide any more info I can. Details and entry at www.bookfool.com
Thanks for your time!

Oh dear, that must be heartbreaking for parents. That special moment, they wait so long for, ruined by a moments inattention. Although at least they won't forget it in a hurry, and one day it will be a fun family annecdote to share.
Enjoy your break Bill!
Thanks for the visits and comments, everybody. I just got back. I'll resume posting tomorrow.
Welcome back Bill :)
wishes,
devika
