OCTOBER 23 HOMEWORK
There was once an old woman who had a dog she wanted to take to a dog show, but the dog had an old collar. She didn’t want to go to the show and have the dog show audience focus on her dog’s old collar, so she called a company that sold collars.
This woman caller wanted to know what colors the collars came in.
The woman caller asked, “What color collars do you have?”
The call center representative consulted the collar color list and replied, “The collars come in an array of colorful options. Since you’ve called for our collar color choices, I’ll send you a collar color flyer.”
The woman caller was so happy that she had called to confirm collar colors. Now, her dog would go to the show with a collar that showed he was a dog show winner.

If you touch this wrong, it will spring up at you. See, that one sprang up over there. This one has sprung many times before.

Raise your hand if you have a question. Tom raised his hand, but Sue hasn’t raised her hand at all this morning.
I can lay this on the bed if you want. I think she had laid it over there before she left, but I laid it on the bed yesterday and it was fine.
I lie down when I don’t feel well, but yesterday I lay down when I had a headache and it hurt more. Other times, though I have lain down and it has been a relief.

This will stick here if you press on it hard enough. It stuck yesterday. Otherwise, you can stack it over there in the corner.
I need to string these lights up for Halloween. I strung them last year above the door, but they fell down. Do you think they will fall this year, too?
When the man hit the child, she hid in her room. She has hidden there many times before because he has hit her many times. No one has ever dealt with the problem. We need to deal with it now.
