Dear Humans,

Sometimes the worksheet just doesn’t have enough room on the answer line. So you have to go beyond it. You squeeze the rest of your sentence into the margin or cram it in between the line spacing below in a tiny script.

Perhaps we should be more succinct. Perhaps I shouldn’t give you worksheets in the first place. But I think this is a problem we’ll always face–not enough space for what we have to say.

Because one of our callings is to go beyond the template. To say more than is expected of us and say it in a different way. And the only way we can do that is to go beyond the lines that are drawn for us.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
