How I trained my husband

For our lesson tomorrow Aug. 16, I'd like you to read the text on p.57 - How I trained my husband. It's about a woman comparing training animals to training her husband. Amy Sutherland wanted to cure her husband of some irritating habits. What do you think were these habits?

Read the text and we'll discuss at the beginning of our lesson on Tuesday.

Also, try to think of some annoying habits that your friends or someone in your family might have that you would like to "cure" as well.

See you all tomorrow!
