Sister Mary WHAT THE?!?

You know, some days I just run out of things to say to you. They are often the same days I come back to class after the break and don’t know what to do for the last hour. It is on those days that we play CatchPhrase. I think that if you are exceptionally good at CatchPhrase, you might make a good ESL teacher. I just made this connection today when we were playing. If you can look at a word and immediately think of at least three ways to explain it without using the word itself in the explanation, you can teach it to anyone. And if someone looks at the word and says, “Umm…woman…emm, catolica…black…” and you know this is a Spanglish description of a nun, then you can probably work with internationals. So if this describes you, and you want to learn more about how you can become an ESL teacher, let me know.

Oh! Speaking of nuns, I do not think it will come as a shock to anyone that Whitney and I had a most ridiculous conversation last week that involved one.

It all started when she cleaned out the refrigerator, and IT WAS AWESOME. I twittered at her and told her she was awesome, and that Demi Moore had nothing to do with it (an allusion to this SNL digital short). Well then later, we started talking about Demi Moore’s IMDB page, which she’d been looking at even before I mentioned her. Weird.

Anyhoe, she was telling me about how DM apparently had three cameramen present at the birth of her first child, Rumer Willis, in 1988. I asked if she was credited as herself in that role, to which Whitney responded that no, that information was in the trivia section, not the filmography. Well that, friends, is where the conversation went nutty.

Imagining that the Willis-Moores did have their personal home videos credited in their filmographies, we did a quick run-through of the stars. Demi Moore as herself. Rumer Willis as herself. Baby Rumer as…herself. Bruce Willis as himself. Ms. Moore’s vagina double…none.

Then I said, “Well, you know…not A NUN.”

Ah, the hilarity.
