Whip It
“Meyers’s office. Ms. Meyers is our school’s guidance counselor, who neither guides nor counsels. Not that she doesn’t try.
Ms. Meyers is really into slogans. Her favorite is “You can bee all that you want to bee”—an affirmation she likes to drive home by pointing at a piece of bumblebee jewelry that she always wears. Par example. I’ll be walking innocently down the hall, trying not to be noticed, when Ms. Meyers will get me in her crosshairs.
“Good morning, Bliss. How are you?” she’ll say.
“I’m... fine, Ms. Meyers,” I’ll answer.
“Good. Don’t forget, Bliss. You can bee”—points to bumblebee ring—“all that you want to bee”—points to bumblebee earring. It’s like a shtick she developed in a previous life as motivational speaker for six-year-olds on a low-budget children’s show, only the gig didn’t pan out and, thanks to the miracle of a couple well-chosen community-college courses, Ms. Meyers now plies her trade to high-schoolers. And, naturally, she brought her bee wisdom with her.MoreLess
