Storyteller: For Lou, we got a shawl spun out of Toe-Tickler cocoon silk, a music box that plays the song of the Ancient Fraggles, and a copy of "Why Everyone Should Love a Wimp."
Nora: For Kate, one shawl made from the same material, but in a silly creature's size, one set of candles with a variety of scents, and a copy of the Mayhem's greatest hits.
MN: And for Gonzo, one crash helmet, one set of decals for his motorcycle, and a biography of Evil Kneivel.
Nora: You know he's not going to use that crash helmet.
MN: Yeah, I know...but Camilla might want to make a nest in it...(starts snickering)
Storyteller: And what are you giggling about, my lady journalist?
MN: Huh...oh, right. You see, our class was holding a fundraiser for our year's gift to the school this week.
Nora: Yeah, so?
MN: Let me finish? The class council set up buckets with five professors' names and photos on them. We had to drop loose change in them...and the prof whose bucket contained the most change by the end of the week had to teach classes while wearing an Easter bunny suit today.
(Nora throws back her head and cackles)
Storyteller: Shameless!
MN: Oh, yeah, and I was in an English class with one of the profs...and a bunch of other students wanted to see him wear the suit. I think one ambitious student raised $200 independently and dropped it in. Really.
Nora: So did he get the suit?
MN: (snicker) He did. Three of us, including me, came to class with cameras, and one guy brought in a bag of carrots to share with everyone.
Storyteller: My goodness...you English majors are a vindictive lot.
MN: Come on, all the profs taking part did so of their own free will. And he was a good sport about it - in fact, he was actively encouraging us to drop change in his bucket. It was all fun.
(Yes, this did happen at MN's real-life university in the last week.)
