In the year of our savior Reggio Emilia 2012, there did a monster reign. He walked amongst them unnoticed at times. Peaceful. Quiet. As with Play-Doh. And the Trains of Thomas. And Maresol, that fair teacher of Espanol who taketh no shit. "Things are as they should be," they said, at the Time Known As Drop-Off. And then ...

To Peter the Police Officer: A Letter
Dear Peter, First, might I commend you on your shiny motorcycle? And no, you don't look at all like that guy who played the policeman on "The Hangover." Only remotely. By about 93%.
