“I almost got away with naming my children after characters from the Pokemon anime… but thanks to a friend, who didn’t know, said “oh, like the Pokemon characters” in front of my spouse, my second child’s name was changed to something different.”
Mr. Fernandes
I enjoy both musicals and dramas
Ms. Vivian
I’m a parent of five with a spouse who teaches school,
Pickleball and Carolina blue both fit my rule.
I played high-school football; don’t pass me the sea—
If it lives in the water, it isn’t for me.
I joke, “If cows could swim, then beef would be through,”
And Dad’s old sayings still echo true:
“Excuses are like…” and “Wish in one hand…”
“I’ll kick a mudhole…”—you know the command.
Chick-fil-A, Mexican, and steak take the prize;
I’ve lived in China longer than many Chinese students realize.
From sidelines to pickleball, from sayings to swirl,
Who am I? Fill in the blank—give it a whirl!

Two codes I keep: one twisted, four letters inside you; The other guards a gate that strangers try to slip through. I hunt a king, chase balls past nets and through hoops, then race where no ball can go.I read journals no one keeps as a diary, and I set down twenty-nine kilos I’ll never pick up again.
Unlock me, if you can.

Among all your teachers, just one can proclaim
A recent free-time hobby of video-game fame.
With a PS5 near, I shift into gear
In Call of Duty—so guess out my name!
Mrs. Jones
I speak in languages most cannot read,
Guiding young minds at lightning speed.
I teach how to question, think, and solve,
Watching your logic and patience evolve.
Turning a screen into a goldmine.
But more than the code, I care for you all,
Cheering you on whenever you fall.
With a patient heart and a welcoming space,
I’m here to guide you at your own pace.
