Creepy-Ass Quote of The Week

Creepy-Ass Quote of The Week


So I'm reading a sample of an age-appropriate personal narrativeessay from Harcourt Language Teacher's Edition, Grade 4, when I cameacross this totally bizarre passage that could have been from a lessonin some colonial primmer on how to win the trust and admiration of "ourlittle brown friends."  The background is that little Jin, ournarrator, has just moved to America from China and is unable to makefriends due to her limited knowledge of English.  And then. Yes, then, comes little blonde Ali to the rescue:

   I was sitting at my desk during playtime when a girl named Ali cameover to play with me.  Ali had blue eyes, a pretty smile, andbeautiful blonde hair.  I had never seen such pretty hairbefore.  Even though I could only speak a little bit of English,Ali and I had lots of fun together.  She let me touch her prettyhair. (75 Harcourt Language)
Oh, isn't your heart just brimmingwith gratitude for the gracious little blonde girl with the prettyhair.  What a good, brave girl blondie is.  She even lets theChinese girl touch her hair!  Jin is so lucky to have an Arayanangel self-sacrificing enough to actually talk to Jin and let Jin touchher hair!  Pretty, pretty blonde hair!

Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey's Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
