Bright Spots is the perfect name for your stack. You are, indeed, a bright spot (and did you notice my very appropriate use of commas? And right then, an appropriate use of a question mark?). Your fifth graders sound a lot like my 6 to 8th graders. Im the Head of School at a middle school, and the surprises and laughter are everywhere. I’m going to show your Ted Talk at our next staff meeting to encourage my teachers to find the laughter everywhere. Thank you for this gift!

I, too, watched your TED talk on YouTube. But didn't comment, just liked. You are a brilliant comedian. I love how you talk about your life and don't overanalyze events.
