That term doesn't mean what you might think. If you’re imagining middle-school aged students making
fun of each other, their teachers, or their curricula—you’re wrong!
Mock is short for
hammock, and probably should be spelled ‘mock. Take a look at friends of one of
my granddaughters in a park near the home of my son and his family. Doesn’t
this look fun? Mentally, just contemplating this scene, I’m settling in
for breeze as I snuggle down
comfortably—breeze, as in ‘shooting the . . .’ and what happens when gently rocking
between trees.
I understand that the
thrill of mocking fades once the mocker is obtains a driver’s license. But when
you’re fourteen, that’s a long way off and mocking is NOW.
