Sorry Not Sorry! Darwin Edition!

This week we read the delectable “This Is Just To Say” by William Carlos Williams, in which he expertly maneuvers the “sorry, not sorry” faux-apology. As enjoyable as Williams’ poem is, it is even more fun to find out what our darling students are secretly not sorry about (mostly really delicious food). Enjoy!

Un día mi mamá me
dijo que no me comiera
el pastel hasta después

Me lo comí

Lo siento
pero me encata…

Eat The Cake

When it was my birthday my mom bought me

I really enjoyed it.
