<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">I am not your mother. What is it to me if you yawn out loud in class, your mouth uncovered and stretched wide? What do I care if you make that sound — <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">ahhhhhhhhh</em> — so that those in front of you and behind look up from their notetaking to watch you? I am not your mother. But listen. That guy at the front of the room might have a fancy title and a bunch of books on the shelf at the university store, but he is still a human being. He worked hard on this lecture. For you. Cover your mouth and learn something.</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">I am not your mother. And you? You are most likely a genius. I’d guess you aced your SATs. You probably speak three languages, play the cello professionally and run a small non-profit in your free time. But it seems kind of stupid to ride your bike in traffic without a helmet on, Mister. I am not your mother, but don’t you hear that fire truck speeding up behind you? No? I guess it’s because of those earbuds you’re wearing.</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">I am not your mother. Your mother is probably sitting in her kitchen in New Jersey or Texas or Washington state. She might be drinking her coffee this morning, imagining you walking across campus wearing one of the button down shirts she bought you over the summer, before she packed all of your belongings into the car and drove you hundreds of miles to college, where she left you on your own for the first time, a lump in her throat as she drove away. I am not your mother, but would she be happy to see you wearing that <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">I am the man from Nantucket </em>T-shirt? Would she?</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">I am not your mother. It’s not my place to peer over your shoulder as you surf the Web, IM your roommate and peruse photos from New York fashion week when you should be listening to this lecture about the origins of the dagguereotype. Don’t you realize how much this is costing your parents? Don’t you realize college does not last forever and you should soak up every bit of this, because one day you will have a boss and a spouse and kids and a to-do list you can never complete and this is your one chance to just spend your days filling up your brain?</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">Did I just say that out loud? Oops. Sorry. Aren’t you glad I’m not your mother?</p>

Noun: -unruliness
Examples: – check <a href="http://sentencehouse.com/quintessential/">quintessential meaning</a>
<ul>
<li>If you come across a bunch of unruly people, the first thing you need to do is to calm them down by any means possible.</li>
<li>The police take to controlling unruly people by using excessive force, and it is not always the right thing for them to do.</li>
<li>If you have an unruly child, it is very important for you to provide ample amount of discipline early on so as to avoid a problem child in your hands.</li>
<li>When the unruly ministers of the State went on a rampage in the upper house of parliament, it was upon the police inspectors within the Parliament to control them.</li>

<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">On her first day of school in the city, The Belle strapped her sandals on, picked out a <a href="http://countryfriedmama.com/p_1936/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bow</a> to match her dress, and set off on foot with her backpack secured to her shoulders. Having known only suburban-style travel to school (not <strong class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">S</strong>uburban, but <strong class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">s</strong>uburban), The Belle saw excitement in every part of her journey.</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">At the bus stop, The Belle asked her mother about the bus route, the route number, the other people waiting for the bus, and how one might be lucky enough to one day get to drive the bus. She told people hurrying by, <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">I’m going on the bus!</em> Clutching their coffee mugs and their aloofness, few paused to acknowledge her, but the kinder ones smiled.</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">The bus came, and The Belle found a seat near the front window. Her backpack pushed her body forward on the plastic chair and her legs stuck straight out into the aisle. As the bus sped into a tunnel, The Belle yelled, <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">whee! </em>She yelled <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">whee!</em> some more as she got on the escalator coming out of the station.</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">Once again above ground, The Belle took three steps along the sidewalk, then asked her mother, <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">Are we there yet?</em></p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">They weren’t there yet.</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">But they were at an intersection crowded with workers and construction equipment and police officers and college students heading off to shop for classes. When it was her turn to cross the street, The Belle stopped in the crosswalk to answer a police officer’s question. <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">Is today your first day at college?</em> he asked her. <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">NO!</em> she yelled, so he could hear her above the din. <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">I RODE THE BUS!</em> The police officer expressed more enthusiasm about this than most of the commuters had. The Belle said, <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">POLICE ARE GOOD</em>.</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">She walked on. And on. She walked very, very slowly on.</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">When she finally arrived at <a href="http://countryfriedmama.com/p_1333/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school</a>, The Belle asked her mother to play at the painting table, at the clay center, in the kitchen area. Then The Belle forgot about her mother and got involved with some blocks and some children, who also heard her story about having ridden the bus.</p>
<p class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">Everyday, The Belle rides the bus to school with her mother or father. She now knows the bus route, the bus number and acceptable bus behavior. And more than a couple of others who ride the bus know when they see her, that she will exclaim — as she did on her first day — <em class="ksu4fhbg2dox55czq">I’m going on the bus!</em></p>
