About Sarah Vigue
What better way to learn about someone than to see what their grade school teacher had to say?
- 3rd quarter: Sarah continues to make progress both academically and socially. I am pleased with Sarah’s improvement since our last conference.
- 4th quarter: Sarah has made fine progress this year. Her reading skills have greatly improved this quarter. Emotionally, Sarah has come a long way. I am happy to have known and worked with her. I will miss her next year.
Okay so maybe you need a little more context. Here’s a story to bring you into Sarah’s world:
Back in the late ’80s, Sarah and her siblings were young with just a few years on them. Their paternal grandmother, Marie, lived across the country and had pet mice that kept giving birth to lots of babies. Gramma Marie boxed the baby mice in cardboard and mailed them as gifts to the kids. Unfortunately, she didn’t think about the mice eating their way through the cardboard. The post office was extremely unhappy when the mice got loose!
Undeterred, Gramma Marie tried mailing the mice in a glass jar, only, she forgot that the mice needed air holes to breathe… The kids’ mom received a jar full of deceased mice. Gramma Marie tried poking holes in the jar’s lid, only to accidentally tape over them, resulting in another shipment of dead mice.
Finally cracking the right combination of container, sealing, and air holes, Gramma Marie sent mice to the kids that survived and the kids were so happy to have little pets. However, they noticed that even after food, rest, and water, that the mice, having survived the journey from Maine to Georgia in a glass jar, were technically functioning mice but they were twitchy, as you can imagine!
No stranger to childhood trauma, mental illness, and physical disability, Sarah can relate to the mice and considers herself to be perfectly lovely but a little twitchy.
Why meredibly? What does it mean?
Is this a made-up word? Yes. Sarah’s brother created the term. It’s kind of like the word gibberish. Read the story behind the family’s mondegreen
