I remember correcting a grade 7 science test many years ago. The unit we had completed was on the human body. One young man who was evidently a bit confused about what we had seen wrote the following definition for hairline fracture: “It is a tiny crack in a bone through which a single hair grows.” I believe I gave him half marks for creative improvisation and for making me laugh out loud.
Yesterday, my massage therapist explained to me why I was feeling some discomfort in my legs when taking walks. One of the words she used stuck in my mind and I thought I would also take a go at some creative improvisation.
