Dizzy...not Lazy.

On Tuesdays, I teach listening to a class of teachers.

For some Chinese, my name is hard to say/hear. One of my teacher-students said, "I told my daughter that my teacher was Lizzie (child heard lazy) and she thought that wasn't good."

So for a listening exercise we did:

Lizzie can be dizzy, busy, or frizzy.
But
Lizzie is not lazy.

Growing up, I would get so mad when people would sing-song my name, "Lizzie is dizzy 'cause she's so busy!" "Dizzy Lizzie!"

Now, I encourage it.

Oh, how the tables have turned.
