When I was a kid and in elementary school we had the option of buying or renting our text books. The first few years my parents bought mine because they wanted me to have the best and after it did not thing to help my lackluster performce they started renting them.
In the 6th grade I had a Health Textbook that featured as story about Helen Keller and a picture of Helen with her hands on the lips of her teacher Annie Sullivan. Someone who had the book before me had drawn comic strip balloon for them, Helen says; "You have very smooth skin." Annie says: "My mother was a lesbian."
I thought that was a hoot. I still think thatis funny after 30 years. But now I wonder if the writer of this commentary was in fact acting out some situation on going in their life, perhaps their own mother was a lesbian, perhaps they were curious.
