A memory

[lesliepear]

Alan had to write his homework items down on paper tonight which I had to sign. One was spelling, but the second was  "Math ditto". (It was a xeroxed worksheet) I hadn't heard the word ditto in years. It made me think of those blue mimographed sheets (and the smell) from my past - I remember them being called dittos!

I remember dittos, too, and their damp feel when they'd first been done. I also remember how there was a girl with low vision in our school chorus - she always had to have a "black copy" (ie Xerox) of whatever, because she couldn't read the blue/purple dittos.
